Release 8.0.0 DP 6

[Paul Hibbert]

Well I eventually found the culprit, it was one of my own utilities that I had saved in the plugins folder and set to open as LC starts up.

There was a small bug in the utility that LC5/6/7 silently ignored, but LC8 chokes on it, with the plugin opening as LC starts it really upset the IDE and caused it to crash eventually.

Now that I’ve fixed the bug in the plugin the IDE is responding correctly.

I tested the crash caused by releasing the mouse button outside of a menu button’s choices on an old 2007 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 with LC7.1 and LC8 dp6 and it doesn’t crash on the old Mac, but it crashes every time on a new MacBook Pro.
