- I've had this problem with the new version of StrongED that I'm developing.
- What happens in my case, is that when a file is changed I open a dbox asking
- the user if he's sure. When the user now clicks on the 3D "Quit" button
- the program sometimes crash.
- Initially I suspected that a stray pointer somewhere had screwed up my data
- or the program itself, but a short test-program in BASIC crashed in a similar
- way.
- The problem seems to be that the OS lowers the 3D button, the program quits,
- and then the OS tries to raise the button again.. boom..
-
- The button type was "R5" (I think), but I also managed to crash with button
- type "R1". The icon types I tried (which both crashed) was "Report when
- clicked" and "Report when released".. The one sure to crash every time was
- R5 with report when clicked.
