[CELayoutEditor] Crash / Bugs

[Ident]

In cases of resizing an absolutely positioned window, the layouteditor will sometimes go insane and start pushing about 100 megabytes per second into my ram till my ram is so loaded that the memory is written on my HDD, effectively slowing down my operating system to non-functionality.

This is a severe bug, i just needed 25 minutes to close the program because the whole OS wasn't reacting / reacting only once per minute and this isn't the first time this happened.

I can post a copy of a corrupt .layout file (the .layout file is the problem, i changed some things and it didnt start with loading my memory anymore) with explanation of what i did and which window produces the problem




Another though smaller problem is that if changing for example the name of a window and then clicking on another window in the dialog, it will apply the name to the window that was clicked, not the one where i changed the name


And it's annoying we can't lock the main window seperately


Aside from that, the layout editor is great and a great help!

That would be useful, because if the problem can't be easily reproduced the likelihood of action being taken falls to zero

I know, i worked in Q&A for the last months

Reconstruction:
• Load xml in the CELayoutEditor

Behavior:
• Endless loop of leaking memory (filling RAM)

"Fix":
Change the 4th value pair in UnifiedAreaRect of "CancelVideoSettingsButton" so that 0.65 will be 0. As far as i remember, after such a change the leaks stopped.

Way to the Error:
I created this window (button), made its alignment centered (never happened with my many other left orientated windows) and made the positioning absolute, then i move it and tried to access the left sizing handle (sizing width from the left edge) however then it already froze my PC.

My platform is Windows 7 X86, I use the precompiled downloadable version of the CELayoutEditor 0.7.1

This appears to have been caused by a bug in the 0.7.1 release of CEGUI (which is included with the binary CELayoutEditor release). When testing with the latest CEGUI code from v0-7 branch, the issue seems to be gone.
