OK, this is apparently Coyote's doing. He tells me he was
doing a "survey" to see if anyone is using the product. :-(
The TextLine object was updated to work with the new MapCoord
coordinate object, and in the process of updating several
objects at the same time, we apparently had a little cut-and-
paste problem. This is fixed now.
.../programs/catalyst/source/graphics/textline__define.pro
A larger problem looms, however. I made a change a couple of
days ago to do a "deep destroy" when freeing up objects that
were saved in Catalyst "system" variables (with CatSetDefault).
The change worked great for the specific problem, but has
caused unintended consequences in other parts of Catalyst.
I have rolled back this change until I can investigate further.
I can think of several ways to deal with this problem, but
all hold potential consequences. It needs to be thought through
without the pressure of a deadline. I'll try to work on it some
this weekend, although I had other things planned for these
(finally!) sunny days. :-(
Anyway, you can find the rolled-back version here:
.../programs/catalyst/source/core/catlistvalue__define.pro
Sorry for the confusion. I'll see what I can do with this.
Cheers,
David
