Thanks for confirming that Bernd.

Closing that corrupted gradient editor via the window decoration control rather 
than the inaccessible Cancel or OK buttons also leaves the selected graphic in 
a bad state: resizing it (though not moving it)  corrupts the fillGradient of 
the target -- it does not modify the points co-ordinates to reflect the new 
values [IMO an unhappy design decision to use stack co-ordinates rather than 
target co-ordinates for the from, via and to points in the gradient array]. It 
apparently leaves the target graphic in edit mode, because it can also display 
ramp handles in the target control which cannot be removed without relaunching 
LC.

And speaking of bugs I personally clearly have a proof-reading bug, I cannot 
believe the number of typos in that last post of mine.

This only happens to me when I accidentally close the edit box via the close 
decoration and not via the "OK" button.
The same happens with the edit box for editing gradients.

Kind regards
