Stability of LC 8 DP2?

[Lagi Pittas]

I started using Livecode 8 (DP1) for a less critical project last week - so
far so good.

I decided to upgrade to DP2 today on my windows 7 system running parallels
on a MAC.

In the space of an hour I have had a blue screen of death in Win 7 (never
happened in 2 years on this p[arallels setup).

And 3 times the whole stack and livecode 8 just vanished without even a
windows message to say it crashed or whatever (the usual when this happens).

All I was doing at the time was increasing the font size on a tab Panel.

Now I don't know if the universe is trying to tell me something - I've been
meaning to ask for over a year now - and it's not fixed on version 8
either. -  the tab panel text labels are STILL too big for the tab
containers - it still looks like an afterthought as the descenders of the
letter "g" "bleed" into the panel and the rest of the letters are sitting
underneath by a pixel or 2 unless I make the text size about 17+ which cuts
down - there is no way to adjust margins - you could say that's to show
that they are not the "focused tab" but in the halcyon days we could change
the colour and text styles of each tab and it's text - so we decided what
looked good or not. Now if the tab panel is a widget I could go in and make
it work the way I want without trying to fight with Visual Studio but I'm
assuming it's not.

Anyway I just left this for 10 minutes to work on my program added a
graphic line to the tab panel - for some reason it get moving to the same
place whatever i did - even locking it's position so I did the equivalent
of switching it on and off again - press delete with the line selected -
VOOM the whole stack and livecode 8 vanished again without a warning of no
responding or a windows error message.

Looks like I'm back to version 6 again for another 6 months.

I really do Hope it's my setup so I will play around on my windows laptop
with the same stack and see what happens.

p.s.

Went back to do a bit more and got to a stage where I wanted to delete a
two grouped lines and again  pressed the delete key  and voom again I lost
the whole lot no windows error or no responibg dialog

I'm using a Logitech K480 bluetooth keyboard which might have a few foibles
but I can't belive pressing delete on a line would do that without some
problem.. Ill plugin a wired keyboard and see what happens.
