On the contrary, while I recommend using the most recent "Stable" build
for deploying, for development I strongly recommend using the most
recent build with any designation specifically so we can identify and
resolve these issues ASAP.
Waiting until after final release only guarantees a previously-unknown
issue will remain in the final release.
@Lagi: Please submit two bug reports, one for the crasher since of
course crashers need to be resolved ASAP, and another for the text
baseline since no one wants newcomers getting turned off from LiveCode
the moment they drop a control onto a card because it looks wonky.

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.
