Hi Ruslan,

I've discovered a strange bug which I think is related to VXCMD.  
Sorry....

In Metacard 2.5A8 (with latest build of VXCMD_macho installed) do the 
following:

create a new stack
create a card background and put two fields in it
stop editing background and paste some text into one of the fields (I 
pasted the readme text for MC 2.5)
switch to another application (eg TextEdit) and copy some text
switch back to Metacard
clone the card
select the text you previously put in field by clicking in field and 
typing cmd+a (select all)
Metacard quits unexpectedly.

You can probably reproduce with less steps than above but I've been 
able to repeat the error doing the above.  Note that switching to 
another application, changing the text in the clipboard, then switching 
back to Metacard is necessary to produce the error (ie change clipboard 
outside of MC)

If you remove the VXCMD_macho from the Metacard folder it doesn't 
exhibit this behavour.

Rodney
