can't create collision polygon (image gets invisible)

Hi

I downloaded the trail version of Torque 2D and started working the Fish Game tutorial. I have come to the step, where I have to define the collision polygon for the fish.
The problem is, when I follow all steps the fish, as well as the points of the polygon are invisible in the polygon editor. Only if I remove every single point, the fish becomes visible. Once I add one point, it all becomes invisible. I made a few screenshots:

Pushing any of the editor's buttons does not do anything. I also tried quitting and restarting the application, nothing helped. The exact same thing aplies for the link point editor.
I am running Torque 1.7.5 on an early 2009 iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.3

I really considered buying a license, but with such an essential feature missing, the entire toolset becomes useless.

I too have this problem. I have used the previous version of the engine and there was no problem. Not sure how such a major problem seems to have slipped through in the new release.

I have already submitted a bug report and we will see what happens. I have tested this bug on both windows build (vista) and mac build (snow leapord) and both are having the same issue.

Any feedback from any of the devs on this issue?

Seems to be a bug throughout all versiones of 1.7.5

I simply did what everyone else did: i downloaded the trial for 1.7.4 (search apple.com/downloads for it). Seems to work. I guess I'll just have to wait.
