Property editor bug

    So I was trying to hack ice with the property editor tool. However, I missed the ice and clicked in empty space. A blue screen of powder death promptly presented itself. Something about an I/O error. I have done some simple tests and the bug occurs when the cursor is hovering above some particles, but the mouse actually clicks empty space. I have the latest version, downloaded within about 5 mins. I entered nothing into the initial popup before clicking next to the ice. Does anyone else experience this? For such a major bug I would expect more threads posted about it.

     

    EDIT:

    By 'hovering' I mean the larger sursor contains some particles. By 'clicking empty space' I mean the tip of the mouse isn't pointing to a particle.

    I can't reproduce it, how can the mouse be "hovering above some particles, but click an empty space"? Does it only happen on ICE? Is the ICE melting or anything as you are setting the property?

    I have been having a similar bug with the PROP tool, except, a bit less extreme. When I use it, it works like the delete button instead, deleting particles within the cursor's cirlce.

    When I say hovering, I mean the circular cursor contains some particles but the pixel at the middle, at the tip of the mouse, is not on a particle. The bug seems to be happening on fullscreen with any particle type - I also tried concrete.

    When I try to use PROP tool without chaging anything, that is it's set to type and no value, sometimes it erases particles and sometimes it does not.....so that happens to me too.

    I am at version 89.2. Does TPT send errors to the STDERR? Is no one getting the error?

     

    The error seems to have 'disappeared'. Odd.

    Might be just some random glich. Unless it is persistently recurring, I would ignore it.

    I have the same bug at some life-types (They are deleting other life-types at my cursor if I want to place other life-types there (Cursor=the place in which the elements are appearing)) I wanted to say something else which was REALLY important... but I have forgotten it during writing this text D:
