I'm using Windows 2000.
For those who try this experiment, you don't need to be all that precise like I wrote in my original message.
You just need 2 feathered shapes and a rectangle. Select the feathered shapes and rectangle, apply ClipView. When you start to zoom in, Xara will disappear.

ps. don't remember using clip view as much as this before though.

A 4 year old PIII 450MHz, 256Mb Ram, TNT2 with XP PRO, Xara disappears.
PIII 550MHz, W98SE, 320Mb RAM, ATI card - Xara didn't disappear the same way but I got a Kernel32 error before it quit.
(XARAX caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff7a138.)
P200, 64MB RAM, 98SE, Cirrus card same as above Kernel32 error then quit.
I can't get it to behave on any machine I try it on!
The key thing about provoking the crash is to pick the magnifier tool and single-click (not drag click) on the overlapping area each time.
Strange that not everyone seems to get the problem.

I can get it to crash as well now. I never use the magnifier tool in that way but drag-select an area, but if I click on the area it crashes with no warning message.

Still no crash up until %8000, then I tried using the slider to look at another part of the zoomed image, and it crashed (the old "illegal operation" crash).

Hehe - sometimes the slightest detail makes all the difference http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I'll need to get into the habit of drag-zooming. I wonder just how many crashes could be put down to single click zooming in other situations!
Hmmm...
