Can't edit light properteis

I'm almost a 100% sure this has come up before, but can't find it now.

What's happening is that all of a light's properties with an edit box (i.e. those not set by a drop-down box) cannot be edited as Constructor seems to be refreshing edit box values each frame. Example: you can hightlight a light's color value "255 255 255", but if you begin to type, then whatever you type gets immediately replaced by "255 255 255".

Getting the same problem on ATI/32bit Vista. It's something wrong with the source changes, because it only happens with the 1.051 exe. Don't suppose you ever figured how to fix it?

Unfortunately not. Have only had a quick look at Constructor and then never used it again.

Just ran into this myself, not sure if there'll be another Constructor update but this would be a good bug to fix.

Constructor obviously has a ton of work into it... I like it.

@Michael Hall

Fixed mine, TY! (note: set it back to 1 after, or other things break)

BTW: Greets Josh E from an MMO Kit user :-)
