I don't know what is going on. I do see old error messages repeated at
times. I think they come up when error handling gets confused or has
an error or the stack is blown.
I recently tried using the select tool by hand and got a flashing error
window. I don't know if that is a clue.
Maybe you can put in a try-catch and then look at the raw error
parameter and see if it gives a clue.
Do you start it from the message box with the enter key? Can you start
it with a keystroke from the stack?
Just babbling Scott, hoping something might click.
