When using "Show overlaying elements for selection" and selecting "none" the program is crashing.
Am I doing something wrong?

This is a great new feature and will make my screen designing experience even better. However it looks like it is not quite right yet.
There is no way to cancel out of the selection box.
If I select "None" then the program crashes. Width and height details are not all visible (see pic) and if I alter the column widths to see the details it does not remember that setting on next opening.
If I select a button near the bottom of the page then the dialogue box falls half off screen and the botton scroll bar is not visible. (See pic).
Another thing, when editing I often drag elements off the screen to make room while I rearrange things.
The background being black, some elements become invisible and get lost.
See pic. Example label left half on screen and half on background. Becomes invisible against the black background.
Can we have a a lighter colour? Or user selectable?
I like your editor and very much appreciate the work you have done. :)

Greg,
About the crash I will have a look at that. For the time being you can leave the dialog with the "ESC" key. Regarding "height" value out off sight, this control is listview, when grab the vertical line in the column-line you can shift it to the left. Regarding "scrollbar being covered" by the dialog, if you grab the systembar you can move it to any place you want. When you have the background black, which element element did you move? What colour do you want selectable?

Klaus thank you for your reply.
"For the time being you can leave the dialog with the "ESC" key"
When I use the ESC key it crashes the program also.
"Regarding "height" value out off sight, this control is listview, when grab the vertical line in the column-line you can shift it to the left."
Every time the dialogue opens the height field is out of view again. It does not remember that I dragged the column across.
"When you have the background black, which element element did you move? What colour do you want selectable?"
It is not the screen background that is black. Screen background colour is selectable. It is the area outside of the screen background area that is black.
Please do not think I am being picky. I like your screen editor very much. :)

Been using the editor a bit lately and this new selection method is a great improvement.
I don't know how we got along without it now. :)
There is some odd issue with selection handles being persistent after de-selection. The flashing ones. Persists even if the page number viewed is changed.
Also I wondered if we could have a screen refresh button or right click selection.
Often I need to reselect the page number to refresh the page and get artefacts to disappear. After a repositioning of an element.

Hey Greg,
I'll fix that "flashing" problem in the next version. I also will implement the refresh feature. It would be usefull for me, if you could tell me what to do, to get the artefact's on the screen.

I can not get artefacts to happen right now. I don't know why.
When it happens again I will post a screen grab and try to work out when and why.

Hey Greg,
thank you for your help. You can download version 1.31.a. In that version I fixed the flashing problem and added a "refresh" per icon, menu and context menu.

Refresh options are great.
We seem to have lost "Background Colour". Not showing on screen.

Hey Greg,
thank you for the tip. This bug is fixed in version V1.31.b.

Still getting persistent selection handles. Not flashing now. Still showing on other pages.
Got a pic of screen artefacts but can't work out what triggers it. Once it starts, it happens a lot.
Also when it happens the selection laso starts acting weird.
Sorry I can not be more specific.

Hey Greg,
the selection problem should be fixed now. The new version is V1.31.e. I made some more changes, e.g. french menu's, deselecting elements with pressed "shift" key and checked "show overlaying elements for selection" behaviour changed.
