PB5.31 IDE crash on Macro Error

Win 7 x86
If your Macro has a fault, the Macro Error Window is displayed, but you cannot close it (or ignore it).

I can close this macro error without any problem here on Win 7 5.31 x86 IDE:
What does your macro look like, so I can test it?

I can't remember exactly what the faulty code line was

I think I had a 'Protected' line in there.
Generally, if you change a simple procedure into a macro, you might leave something included that is either not allowed or simply garbage - ProcedureReturn is a good example.

@IdeasVacuum ,
Might the offending code, perchance, reside in history?

...just checked Davido. The history session does actually show "Wednesday 11: 14 :45 ended unexpectedly" but there is no code to recover.
I doubt it's a one-off, I think if you do something really foolish you can break anything
....should we expect the IDE to be fool-proof? No.
