DMD locks up

[mhw]

I am trying to edit a project with DMD 1.4.2 The program will lock every time I try to modify a "INIT" box.

Known bug. Fix due out Monday. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

I just went back to 1.3 and did what I needed to do. I could have saved myself 20 minutes had I known that it was a known issue. Your service to the customer is so superior that I shouldn't even have mentioned the wasted time.

Thanks for changing 1.4.2 to allow creation of a nickname on the fly from a math box. It does behave differently here than other places. When changing an existing tag to a new tag it will use the existing tag's data type as the new tag's type in the "assign to first unused element type". When doing this from a math box it does not. I hope that makes sense.

But your point is quite valid, there's a bug that can cause wasted time for our customers.

MATH is a different beast.  The Expression parameter does not have a "type" (it typically has a lot of them  ).  However, we can look at addressing the Result parameter behavior in a future version.

Even though the default behavior is a little different, in the mean time, you still have complete control over defining the type by choosing the Type below the assign to first unused element of specified type radio button or by specifying the type/id below the assign to specified element radio button.

We learned about it on Thursday, I think, but haven't known very long. I guess we should consider adding a sticky topic with known issues. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
