I'm running XP SP3 32-bit, with BFD2 v2.1.0.47. I recently upgraded to PTMP 8.0.3, and found an interesting bug this week. This was not an issue on previous versions.

When my BFD2 window overlaps the PT window, I can drag grooves from the groove editor directly into the PT region editor just fine.

If the BFD2 window does not overlap the PT window, then dragging the groove from BFD2 into the PT editor causes PT to hang, and gives the following error message:

Access violation occurred, unable to read location: 0x00000000 at address: 0x00993EE3 in module: DFW.dll

I also get the same issue if for some reason I drag the BFD2 groove in any place not over the PT region edit window; i.e. over PT that is not part of the Region Editor, such as over the Mix window, over the desktop (as in if the BFD2 window doesn't overlap the PT window).

So far, I've found the issue to be 100% reproducible. The workaround is to make sure that BFD2 always overlaps the PT editor when moving grooves into PT. However, as this is an important part of my workflow, I'd like to see it corrected. I'm not sure whose issue this is, so I've cross-posted it over at FXPansion's web site. My suspicion is that since DFW.dll belongs to ProTools, that it would be Didigdesign's issue.

Thanks.
