LC 7.1 possible bug

Hi Richmond,

There's no explicit limitation on the number of objects beyond 'available memory' so it won't be anything like that.

Things to check:

Does the problem happen in 6.7?
Does the problem happen in 8?
What are the names of the images you have generated?
How many images are needed to break things?

The fact that removing the images makes things work again suggests that it something about them causing the problem - the reason I ask about the names of the images is that giving controls numeric names can cause problems, and it's a 'shot in the dark' that it could be that.

Mark.
