FL 5 crashes and problem with guidelines, contour...

david h

Is there a reason that FL 5 (Mac) crashes an average of 4 - 6 times a day:
- while trying to open a font
- while trying to apply any command

Guides/Guidelines:

I can’t convert guidelines to global. Ctrl-click I get this popup menu: “Cancel | Properties”;
sometimes - out of the blue - the local guides with the blue color changes to green

Reverse contour:

also problem with this one. Ctrl-click I get this popup menu: “Cancel.... Define a stem | Properties | Macro ->”

There is indeed a bug in FLS customization which leads to context menus corruption. I believe this has been fixed in 5.0.1 coming soon.

Thanks.

When FontLab5 goes down on me, it affects the finder as well killing my pop-up Dock. Nasty, I have never had an app in OS-X that didn’t go down gracefully and leave everything else alone. Hope they s[pray some Raid in this bugger quick!
