Funny error window in APub

[thomaso]

There is a reproducible and quite odd error window, at least in V1 on mac. Since it's rather harmless + V1 will not get fixed it anyway I post it here in 'Questions' (to get mover wherever).

With or without a layer selected choose from the Paragraph Panel > Bullet & Numbering one of the numbered list options. Then select & copy the preset tag \#. This causes an error dialog window with unusual buttons, one of them is "Crash", which indeed works to crash the app. (Curious, for what purpose this dialog has ever been coded)

Seems to be fixed in v2, if I'm following your directions correctly.
