Fix the Geometry Editor

alan bard newcomer

[the Geometry Editor] It's crashes more than any other part 
and it's so random the only way to defeat it
is to save before you do anything. 
Sometimes it crashes while you're deleting
Sometimes while moving a surface slider. 
I usually try to save before deleting hidden polygons 
but this was just "oh you touched something" 
I was not deleting, was not moving something, creating a surface. 
I was adjusting the cutout opacity. 
And this is just crazy and frustrating to say the least 
I lost a whole lot of texture position. 
This has existed as long as the cursor will disapear if you bump the right mouse button

Random issues are extremely hard to fix - if you can give steps that trigger a crash Daz can look at it and almost certainly fix it, but there is nothing in your post that they could get hold of (and not everyone has this kind of experience). Also don't forget that if you can sort out a reproducible bug you need to report it - posting in the forum is not addressing Daz.

Due to the consistancy of the problem (there are a lot of problems in the geometry editor*), I would venture that it's a specific data storage/access in the information about the item being worked on. Daz builds a record of the geometry of an item when you first activate the tool (either the currently selected item or the first one you select) ... Note this is extremely obvious if you have a large number of items selected when you activate the tool. 
The fact it did it years ago and still does suggests it's an issue with the deep parts of the program, like taking an hour or just freezing when attempted to delete a complex item or group.

*note except for when it crashes ... it's a marvelous tool.

As for Daz being unaware of the problem
