Misc Bugs
- New debugger does not work, crashes with error when trying to read --- WIDGET.
- Process Generation toolbox. I used the toolbox to generate a scrolling input on the file TST BEGUNI, which contains 2 unicode fields, a 10 character key and a 30 character description. The heading size over the description field is incorrect. It should have 30 ='s underneath it, but it only has enough for the word 'Description'.
- Invalid (blank) occurrence number in Image Editor after hitting F11 then attempting to edit Item.
- Restructure of Raw field to Unicode field crashes on exit from Restructure. Fails on other Data Management tools, Create Files ,etc. Probably not a problem with Restructure/Create per se, likely a problem displaying the scrolling list.
