Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a two page project.
2. Create a text link on one of the pages to the other page, then save and close the text editor. Reopen the text editor, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+C to copy it, paste it to an external plain text editor.
3. Start a new project, and open a text object. Paste the text saved from the previous project into this new text editor window. Use the Options->Expand Links menu option to convert the pasted text into a link. Click the now formed text link and a fatal error occurs.

This error also occurs if I manually enter the text defining the link: i.e.;
<a href="page://   2:page2">test</a>  


I guess the reference to a non-existent project page is causing the error, but this action is prohibiting me from pasting text from one project to another. SiteSpinner should convert the non-existent page link to a link to the index page. It already does this if I manually enter a non-existent page in the Link Editor and click OK. Why not extend this error check to manually entered text when the Link Editor opens?

Good one Larry. One fatal bug is the equivalent of about five ordinaries, and this is the first fatal we have seen for quite a while Smile

Ok, Thanks Larry.


It is caused by opening the text object's link editor on page type link that points to a non-existent page.

We will fix it.
