IDE oddities (was Re: Error Messages Are Evil)

[Mike Kerner]

It's persistent between launches of LC.

The case in question is dealing with the dataGrid, because there are issues
with the DG, which I detailed in a bug report that I filed this week, in
particular related to resizing a header.  Because a DG is an amalgam of
numerous LC objects, issues can quickly become amplified.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
