But you are not sending them to window 1.  You are sending them to the
window whose id is thisWindow, which was initialized with the value of
window 1's id when *that* window was window 1.  The value of thisWindow
does not change after initialization.  For the orange window, thisWindow
has value 18026; for the red window it is 18027.  You are sending those
windows not the value of thisWindow, but the value of the current
window 1's id, which in the case of the white window is 18028, so
when the white window has focus, both the red and orange windows
echo the value 18028.

-----------------------
set thisWindow to id of window 1 as integer
repeat 10000 times
  do script "echo " & id of window 1 as string in window id thisWindow
...
-----------------------

The value of thisWindow does not change in the loop.  It always refers
to the value it was initialized with.

I made no error.  I detected your error.  What makes you think that
window 1 is "receiving" anything?  You are not sending to window 1.
You are sending to the window whose id is thisWindow:

do script "echo " & id of window 1 as string in window id thisWindow

Which is my point.  You word the string to say that it is is sent to
"window 1" when it is not.
