Recursive paste bug

Post by Bynun » Fri Feb 03, 2017 5:54 pm

I found a repeatable bug which at worse can stall the program...

If you create an object as a new block such as a square then go back to the Model_Space, copy it, then return to the block space and paste it in the program gets stuck in a recursive loop until you either end up with hundreds of that object pasted in or the program hanging if it's a complex object.

No doubt the result of me using it wrong but i thought i'd mention it :)

I can confirm that creating recursive blocks (blocks that contain a reference to themselves) is indeed a bad idea and should be avoided.
