BUG in EE "Save As..."!

I've been alerted to a *bad* bug in EE (my Euphoria Editor) that will =
CRASH the program. I haven't had a chance to solve it, but several =
people have had the editor crash on them, and I don't want any more =
people losing code over this.=20

Thanks to some unfortunate victims, I've finally been able to duplicate =
the bug. It's in the "Save As..." dialog.  If you:

1. Move to the Directory list using the mouse, and=20
2. Try to use any of the navigation keys (like END)

it is likely to *crash* the program. If you pay attention, you can see =
that the focus is not properly transferred to the Directory list - the =
cursor instead moves to the File Name SLE.

This bug *appears* to be limited to using the mouse; it seems that I can =
safely navigate to the list using the keyboard.

I hope to have a fix posted some time tomorrow - it's not clear why the =
focus is not moving to the Directory MLE. In the mean time, please be =
aware that a crash in the editor means that your code is permanently =
LOST, and act accordingly.

I'm considering a "file backup" option for future versions.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
