OSX 10.4.5 RB2006R1 PowerPC

It has happened to me a few times with in the last couple of weeks but I'm not sure how to reproduce it so I can't report ... and it can lose a lot of work!

Yesterday I layed out a window including configuring a listbox on a tabpannel... I had not put code in the listbox yet (thank goodness because I think I would have lost it)...

Today I open the project all looked OK.. the listbox intial value was there, the size and position was rightt, it had a header as i had set. etc.. But when I selected it, it had lost it super and i could not get at any listbox properties.. when i select something else the listbox visually turned into a cube designateding it as class with no super.

So I closed the project without saving it.. quit RB, restarted RB and opened the project from the recent items menu. This time i tried resetting the super to listbox... but then it lost it's contents... obviously the IDE is confused internally...


I copied the listbox from another project, pasted it into this one, then modified it before saving. I THINK when it happened time before it was with controls that i copied and pasted... i tend to do that often both within and between projects as time saver... Modifying similar controls when designing similar windows is a LOT faster than starting from scratch...

I'm trying to write an app for another department at work to help with their work flow and i don't have much time to do it... stuff like this is VERY frustrating!

I REALLY wish RS would use RB200* exclusively for their internal RB IDE development...
