Problem in the GUI editor.

Hi,
Just got T2D and I absolutely love it.

Anyway, I'll cut straight to it. I've tried this several times and the error seems to occur everytime I do these steps...

Start T2D -> Launch -> GUI editor -> File -> New GUI -> Create -> Toggle GUI editor On/Off -> Error!

Error description:
You know when the screen isn't being cleared from the last frame and you can see a trail of mouse cursors when you move the mouse around? This is what happens here. Then I can't seem to shut T2D down during this error. It's interesting how during this, I could still open up the Particle Editor and load up the .eff's without a problem (so it seemed).

Everything else seems fine... I did the first tutorial on how to build the space demo. T2D is just simply incredible. And this is just the EA release? Hehe...

Awesome work, GG.

This is not really a bug per se. When you select a gui in the editor (or create a new one) and toggle the editor off, the canvas gets set to the gui you last had selected in the editor (presumably so you can easily test-flight your UI as you create/tweak it). By creating a new gui without any bits in it and exiting the editor you're leaving the canvas empty which results in the state you're seeing.

If you don't intend to test your new gui when exiting the editor, select the main gui from the drop-down before toggling out of the gui editor for a more clean transition.

In a round about way it is a bug... anything that results in an unexpected or unwanted application failure is considered a bug or in MS wording a feature ;)

Hey I like doodling on the content-free canvas when I invariably press F10 without re-selecting a valid gui. It's a nice momentary distraction. :)
