[bug] Quick Drop crashes when trying to insert "select a vi" onto a wire

[BowenM]

Not sure if this has been reported before, but a quick search didn't return anything.

LabVIEW 2019

Windows 10

To replicate:

1. Select a wire

2. Open Quick Drop (Ctrl+space)

3. Type "Select a VI" in the search

4. Attempt to insert onto wire (Ctrl-I)

(notice VI is no longer in run mode)

Quick Drop will crash.

I tried it in 2018 32 bit and 2020 64 bit and it worked as expected, no errors. I don't have 2019 installed.

Interesting. I have 2018 32 bit installed on another machine and it worked as expected. That machine didn't have 2019 installed and I don't have 2020 on either.

I'll have to test it more later, but thanks for double checking.  I did verify that other quick drop inserts are working correctly on my 2019 install. Only one that seems to fail is select a vi.

For LV 2019 does the quick drop work for Select a VI if you aren't trying to insert?

I tried and I saw a problem like you described.  Then I just tried a normal QD.

1.  Ctrl-Space

2.  Select a VI....

3.  Enter

4.  Dialog box, picked a VI.

5.  Problem! No VI was on my cursor so I could drop it on the block diagram.

QD didn't crash, but there was nothing to drop.
