Issue

GoLive 7.0.2 for Windows sometimes crashes during the file updating phase that occurs after saving a Component.
It can happen to your Component even when the MenuMachine object is removed.

The crash seems to happen when the number of files to be updated is relatively large, causing the "updating files" list to scroll many times. It is reproducible on Windows XP and GoLive CS 7.0.2.

This is caused by a bug in GoLive CS that causes the drawing routines to crash.

Solution

A workaround that seems to fix the problem is to have another non-GoLive window open in the background (e.g. Windows Explorer) while you are working in GoLive.

When you are ready to update your Component and you click "OK" in the dialog that asks you which files to update, quickly click the background window in the taskbar to bring the window to the foreground so that it completely covers the updating files list.

You can move the front window so it is slightly below the progress bar but you must not see the list of updating files. Wait until the update has completed and then move GoLive to the foreground again.
