Synopsis: Internal Error editing Preference
Description
The Internal Error below occurred in Tools | Preferences. I was editing General - External Commands - Shortcut 8 -- changing it to something easier to remember than Alt+8 -- and then I was faced with the problem of how to save my change, due to bug 12006. Since reporting bug 12006 I've noticed that clicking in another preference value seems to save the change successfully, so I clicked with the mouse on Alt+7, the value of the preference above. Then the Internal Error dialog appeared. I clicked Ignore, and a second similar-looking Internal Error appeared. I clicked Ignore again. I then closed the Preferences window. I reopened it; my change appears to have been saved successfully, despite the error.
