Well; I assume you mean 8.1 which IS a developer preview, so a bit daft to use for development: 8.0.1 is the Stable release.

I started using Livecode 8 (DP1) for a less critical project last week - so far so good. I decided to upgrade to DP2 today on my windows 7 system running parallels on a MAC. In the space of an hour I have had a blue screen of death in Win 7 (never happened in 2 years on this p[arallels setup). And 3 times the whole stack and livecode 8 just vanished without even a windows message to say it crashed or whatever (the usual when this happens). All I was doing at the time was increasing the font size on a tab Panel. Now I don't know if the universe is trying to tell me something - I've been meaning to ask for over a year now - and it's not fixed on version 8 either. - the tab panel text labels are STILL too big for the tab containers - it still looks like an afterthought as the descenders of the letter "g" "bleed" into the panel and the rest of the letters are sitting underneath by a pixel or 2 unless I make the text size about 17+ which cuts down - there is no way to adjust margins - you could say that's to show that they are not the "focused tab" but in the halcyon days we could change the colour and text styles of each tab and it's text - so we decided what looked good or not. Now if the tab panel is a widget I could go in and make it work the way I want without trying to fight with Visual Studio but I'm assuming it's not. Anyway I just left this for 10 minutes to work on my program added a graphic line to the tab panel - for some reason it get moving to the same place whatever i did - even locking it's position so I did the equivalent of switching it on and off again - press delete with the line selected - VOOM the whole stack and livecode 8 vanished again without a warning of no responding or a windows error message. Looks like I'm back to version 6 again for another 6 months. I really do Hope it's my setup so I will play around on my windows laptop with the same stack and see what happens. Regards Lagi p.s. Went back to do a bit more and got to a stage where I wanted to delete a two grouped lines and again pressed the delete key and voom again I lost the whole lot no windows error or no responibg dialog I'm using a Logitech K480 bluetooth keyboard which might have a few foibles but I can't belive pressing delete on a line would do that without some problem.. Ill plugin a wired keyboard and see what happens.
