Steps to reproduce:

1) Use Edit->Preferences->Editor to set up an external editor

Mine is gvim %f +%l

2) Select a few lines of history in the Command History widget (click + shift-click)

3) Right-click and use "Create Script" from the context menu

A blank editor window is created without the selected history.  On the other hand, if I use the built-in editor then the text appears correctly in a new document.
