to finish this: the problem disappears if you uncheck the
Options/Environment/Preferences/show_free_memory box[ ].
So the bug lies in the implementation of that item.
(I personally don't find it very useful anyway.)


BTW I use RHIDE 1.4.7.5 and found another bug(?)
I unadvertantly added a FILE.txt to a project not belonging
to that project and of course I got error messages by 'Build'.
Consequently I removed that FILE.txt from the project.
But RHIDE insists reporting errors from that FILE.txt
which now is no longer visible in the project window.
Only saving the project and restarting rhide
(not simply saving and reloading) "cleans" the project.
Would anyone please try to reproduce that behavior
or point me to something I overlooked ?


Some issues / proposals:

shouldn't the buttons [OK] and [Cancel] in the
'Add (Project) Item' menue be given more descriptive names
like [Add] and [Done] respectively ?

The 'Project Window' should really contain the
current project's name in it's header line.

The 'Project' menue should have two additional items like
[Save current project], which doesn't open a file
selection window but only an 'overwrite' confirmation prompt;
[Save current project as...], which could behave like the
'Options' / [Save options] item.

The 'Options' menu item [Save options] should be renamed,
as in fact it saves (i.e. eventually overwrites)
not only the options, but a whole project
to a prompted file name without any confirmation.

Thanks for discussion.
