I'm surprised, that only a small group seems to have this problem. Perhaps REALbasic is just a programming tool for small apps, so I must choose another product, if this bug will not be fixed in a short time.
RB works great for large apps. But good coding practice says that individual methods should be small if at all possible. My rule is one page of code max per method or event. If it doesn't fit on my screen I refactor it.
A very wise software architect told me that along time ago and it has proven to be a very good guideline. It improves code readability and helps localize data. And an RB exception occurs on a method basis. So the shorter the method the more helpful a runtime exception will be. (In the debugger it will show the offending line of course.)
So yes I agree this is a bug that should be fixed. However good coding practice will keep you from encountering it in the first place.
