Beta 2 - Close When Editing Sprites

Hi! I just had a crash to the desktop complete with error message. Here's what I did. I had a new project. I had just created a new image map and clicked on it. I was examining the option buttons attached to the selection. I clicked "Edit" because I thought it might open a mini-editing tool that would let me do some color changes on the image. It brought me back to the window you get on creation where you choose either "Full" or "Cell" as the image mode. When I realized I was in the wrong place, I chose "Cancel".

Upon cancelling, it showed me the level editor. All my assets in the right-hand pane were grey, empty boxes, and the background I'd just dropped on the level was a grey, empy box as well. When I clicked on an asset to figure out what was going on, TGB crashed, giving me a Windows reporting message. (I took a screen shot of the message sent, and will copy it here if I can figure out how.)

Couldn't figure out how to get them to appear properly in the messages, they kept showing up as red boxes with x's. But here's links to where I've posted them on mySpace. The error is reproducable. I had forgotten to save the complete technical message and was able to get it to lock up a second time so that I could screen shot it. Here are the complete steps to get it:

1) File: New Project (Name the project whatever you like, and make sure you have at least one resource in its images folder)
2) Click "New Image Map" and bring in a new resource. I used a background image set at 800x600. Click "Select".
3) In the next window, leave everything at default and click, "Save".
4) Drag the background into the level editing window and let it fill the level.
5) Click the "Edit This Image Map" button attached to the selection around the background image map.
6) Click "Cancel". (All graphics in the resource bar and on the screen should disappear.)
7) Click the empty background in the level editor.
8) Click one of the empty boxes under "Static Sprites".
9) Click the empty background in the level editor again. The program will crash with an error message as shown in the linked images below:
