[1.7.0.293] Appearance Panel crash to desktop reordering strokes

[Aammppaa]

I am experiencing a repeatable crash to desktop when dragging to reorder the strokes in the appearance panel.

1. Create a new document.
2. Draw a shape.
3. Add a new stroke.
4. As one movement, drag the original stroke above the new stroke

Result: Crash to desktop.

As an aside, this killed my installation of Designer!

1st run after the crash produced this…

Splash screen never disappeared. Popup (which should be informing me about a recovery file) white, with only one visible option ("Yes").

Subsequent runs of 1.7.0.293, after the crash, instantly crashes to desktop!

I just tried running 1.6.5 out of curiosity, and that is dead too!

Update: A system reboot seems to have got both installs running again.

I reproduced the crash and will get that logged, but the File Restore message was fine for me (as was Designer 1.6). It sounds as though your graphics drivers might have had a slight issue which would explain why 1.6 wasn't working and that a reboot solved it.

Thanks for letting us know.

This issue will be fixed in the next available build. Thanks for your help finding this.
