Re: Release IDE version 0.18.6m

The origional bug I found when user selects 'run' when viewing layer1, and
controls in layer0 where producing 'not declared' errors.
eg: In the bug.prj I posted I was expecting to get a
"If isVisible(Group2) then
    Group2 has not been declared" error.

When selected run while viewing layer1.

I believe that this has something to do with the same bug we found below.

I dont know much about the IDE structure, but here is a posible fix that
would not require a huge operation to fix it.

Maybee when a user selects 'run' when viewing 'layer1' in the frame, IDE can
default the frame view back to 'layer0' (as if the user clicked the 'layer0'
tab) before produceing the exw. You could even do this silently so the frame
would still have layer1 in the view, but IDE would act like user is viewing
layer0. Then after exw is generated, IDE could return to its previouse state
and lauch the exw as normal.
