Problems in V4.0.37

  • Setup:
    • Short new script on MacBook M2 v26.3.
    • Only 10 pages with 3 blocks and a few groups on whiteboard.
  • Crashes (in less than an hour):
    • In whiteboard: moving a beat horizontally (back in time).
    • In beat editor: removing a character from a beat.
  • Annoying (not a crash):
    • Mouse cursor gets stuck with push arrows (old bug that came back)
    • Beat name doesn’t refresh in timeline after changing it in beat editor

Sorry, cannot send a crash dump. Proprietary IP. But maybe can duplicate with fake content when I have some time and send that dump. Not hard to crash.

  • Serious bug (lost beat text):
    • In the script panel, edited the last beat of a script (added a line of dialog). Scrolled to top of script, then back to the end. My change was GONE. Hit CMD-Z to try to undo and bring it back. Nothing. Went to type in the line again and POOF, the entire beat reverted to a much earlier version (losing all my recent changes.) Tried CMD-Z, did nothing. Ended up quitting without saving. Reopened the script. End beat restored. Losing edits like that is serious.
  • Annoying:
    • Imported a script from Final Draft. All UPPERCASE action words lost their casing. Had to go through the entire script again, side-by-side with FD, to redo the uppercasing. (Which is further hampered by not having a shortcut key.)
