Comments
VEC is the only VAR specification whereby if you make an error in the specification window it reloads the specification window after the error message - probably something to do with the crash.

The reloading of the specification window after user error is actually a really nice feature. Numerous times now I've made a human error in the VAR specification window, leading to an error window that triggers automatic closure of the specification window, meaning that I have to start all over again (with my naive GUI user hat on).

A small bug, and something small that bugs me!

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the report. We will take a look.

I've just posted a fix for this bug. I've also taken the opportunity to add a bit of additional limited early error checking for some specification errors so that the dialog with be reentrant. The fix will appear in the next patch.

Thanks again for your patience.
