VC unstable in D5 ?

Does anyone else find that the VC is more unstable in D5 ?

I spent most of yesterday composing and modifying Views, and had several PAI
walkbacks.  (I'm sorry, but I didn't have time to investigate at the time,
and a later crash dump seems to have overwritten the .errors file)

The PAI would then become unusable, with walkbacks on just about every
operation.  It turned out to be sufficient to save the View, and close and
reopen the VC.

This happened three or four times in an afternoon.

I've seen this kind of thing too.

Have a good one,

I'm starting to wonder whether this is a manifestation of #537,
"PublishedAspectInspector updates wrong aspect when one clicks over new
aspect after modifying value.". This could be causing you to update the
wrong aspect (i.e. the one clicked on) with the data for the previously
selected one. This could easily end up setting an entirely inappropriate
object into an aspect that wasn't inspecting it, which would surely lead to
walkbacks.

Can you keep an eye out for this sort of thing and let us know if you think
this might be the problem.

I'll do that.

In the meantime, here are three PAI walkbacks extracted from yesterday's
.errors file.  I don't know how much help they'll be, but just to show
willing... ;-)
