Double click your script in your objects inventory...it comes up blank, and the "running" box is checked, but sorta of black/grey'd out.

Close the window and double click again, it opens and loads as it should.

The issue is not connectivity, or waiting for it to load. I tested a number of them in a few different user sessions, stared at them for a couple of minutes, they never loaded. The bug dupes consistently.

Running in script grayed out

Tcoz - I've run into the same problem - though sometimes worse. Since the last update, I have been (off and on) unable to drag a script onto an object. It looks like it went and then when I open the contents it's not there. In existing scripts, I run into the same problem that you mentioned (running is grayed out) and even reset does not work.

When I went back to the general tab, I found the object was locked (I didn't do this) and grayed out. I subsequently logged off and then back on again and low and behold, nothing was locked and I could check running for the script.

There was a LOT of lag on the sim this weekend (45 people present at once), so maybe that was the problem? All I know is that logging off and then back on again seems to take care of this problem, though it is a pain.

Yup, I've seen that one a lot. It doesn't even show the "Loading" text. The only thing to do is close the window and keep trying until it actually loads.

This may be related to size, complexity or something else entirely. It is not something that I have personally experienced, but I am very interested in investigating it.

If possible, please drop a script that you know this has happened to on my profile in world. It would help if you could add [doesn't load] or something to the name or description of the object or script before you give it to me.

i've also ran in to circumstances where i cant open the script window, while the script is in the object. I'll have to drag it out of the object, then open it. i'll then have to delete the script in the object and re-add the edited version.
