Flowlab freezes when using the object value behavior

Bug Reports
1

Whenever I try to create a new value and try to change the name flow lab entirely freezes and I have to refresh, often times losing work. To specifically recreate it, you have to start highlighting the default text and drag until the cursor is outside of the new value box, then stop dragging.

This has happened to me many times before, I have no idea how to reproduce it though.

I would definitely like to fix this, but I canā€™t seem to reproduce it. Highlighting the name and dragging the mouse around doesnā€™t seem sufficient - is there anything else that you can think of that is a common factor?

How easy & reliable is it to reproduce?

No, it very rarely ever happens. It forces you to reload. Itā€™s extremely difficult to reproduce.

If you see it again and you think about it, please check the browser console for an error message - that might be enough for me to fix it.

Edit: The error reads as

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading ā€˜get_frameRateā€™)

Thanks for the error message @DraftyScienceCoat75 !

If you think about it next time you find an error, before taking the screenshot if you can click the ā€œConsoleā€ tab at the top (it looks like ā€œElementsā€ is highlighted right now), it will provide a bit more context for me :+1:

This is helpful though, so thanks :slight_smile:

Thanks for the extra details :slight_smile:

Do you know how to trigger this error, or it just seems to happen randomly?

The only thing consistent Iā€™ve noticed is that I highlight the text and I release the mouse1 button outside of the text box
