New bug in v7 - Manual sequence loops

[fh1805]

I have a sequence (ProjectA) that has been built to be controlled manually (i.e. Wait for a keypress is ticked) and which is set to close after the last slide. When I Preview this sequence, or Publish the EXE and play the EXE, the sequence behaves as though the control option for closure is "Loop until Esc is pressed". I have tried to re-create this situation in a test sequence (ProjectB) and have failed. If I Publish a new EXE file (ProjectA2) from the ProjectA project file, it also behaves as though "Loop until Esc" had been selected. Soemthing isn't right here but I cannot get a repeatable creation of the fault in a controlled environment.

Just after I posted I had a further thought. The manual control involves many actions of the "Go to Slide with Name..." type. The last slide in the sequence (the final black slide) is not advanced to from its immediate predecessor, it is accessed by "Go To" from an earlier slide. Upon checking that earlier slide I found that the slide named as the target of the Go To was "Blank" - but there is no slide called "Blank" in my sequence. Because both the open black slide and closing black slide are PTE-generated Blank slides, they were both called "Blank" when they were created; and realising the potential for confusion, I had renamed them to Blank-Start and Blank-End. Having re-programmed the Go To to point to Blank-End, the sequence now does what it should.

However, the project, in its faulty state, does highlight a bug. There was a "Go To Slide with Name...Blank" coded but no slide called "Blank". I have done a test in which I changed the slide name in the Go To action to a random jumble of letters (i.e. a slide that does not exist at all, not even a close match) and the actual action was to go to the first slide of the sequence. In this situation, PTE should be reporting an error: "Unable to find target slide of Go To" or something similar.
