FlexScript Errors in User Interface happening randomly

Any idea why we are getting such random GUI errors (see below) while trying to work with the PF & 3D model at the same time? Appears to be an internal FlexSim program error and not connected with any of the model objects.

You just need to close and reopen the window that it's complaining about (Quick Properties in this case) or use View -> Open Default Workspace to refresh the whole workspace.

Like Sam said, let us know if you find a consistent way to repeat the error.

You're not the first to have seen this GUI error. We're really sorry about any inconvenience. I've noticed that if you "save as" (name the file differently) then close out of the program completely, before reopening your file, then usually the error will be gone.

If you are ever able to repeat the error. Let us know exactly what happened prior to the error message, and perhaps include the example model as well. This will help us figure out what is causing the error to fire.
