Combo box crashes Sdesigner  (That is *I* do)

When I add a text element, I like to enter the longest possible value into the box so that I can set a width that will hold the data.  Then I backspace the value to erase it.

Trying to do this with a combo box crashes SDesigner.  You'd think I'd have learned this by now, since I've done it so many times.  Undecided

Anyway, is this a bug that can be fixed?  Alternatively, is there some way I can train myself to Save my freaking changes more often so that when I do it again I won't lose so much work?   Grin

I create a combo box, and let SDesigner set its default size (height & width).  Then I edit choices and add a number of choices.  Save choices.  Then, I try to type anything into the combo box.  Crash with "sdesigner has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

The dsr locks up but unlocking is no problem, and everything seems to be fine on restart, which reverts to the last save.

Infinity, can you send in your dsr and ddt files to support@lantica.com so that we can test this here. So far we have been unable to reproduce the crash you are reporting.

Sure, thanks.  It will be called "Vehicles.zip"  The programming is all crap, stuff that carried over from Q&A; it will all be re-written or scrapped.  But it passes a test.

I was able to reproduce what you were seeing with the combo boxes in the version of Sesame released at the User Conference. It appears that the problem has been fixed since then.
