I know I am not alone in having these bugs, they are in regards to working within Construct, not runtime crashes, so I can't really give a .CAP. I will list the issues and hope you can find ways to fix them some day, as they make me have to either redo some code because Construct crashed, or at least restart Construct:
1. This bug usually occurs whenever you open the expression editor (not sure of its name; the window where you for instance pick a variable to change, and below type what to change it to), but also when you try to open an animation frame in the picture editor. The program gives you a pop-up saying "An Invalid Argument was Encountered". When it happens with events it just screws up the interface and you can save, but with the animation editor it crashes Construct. It seems random. Whenever you open the expression editor you get this "flash" in the object list like Construct reloads all sprites and plugins, and I would assume it's here that the bug happens. Maybe not having the list of all the game's objects in the expression editor would help (and instead be like a popup you get clicking a button, to reduce this bug from happening). It happens easier with the animation editor if you exit the picture editor and quickly enter it again.
2. Undoing in the events with Ctrl+Z "too fast" can make Construct crash, at least that's how it seems to me.
3. Sometimes the very top or even the top half of the visible event sheet can act like a button for selecting ALL events. Like, if I click up there all events become selected (yellow). It never happens if you're scrolled to the top of the event sheet. If this is intended somehow it doesn't work very well.
4. Hovering over actions in event sheets when the event is "chronological" is really wonky. Sometimes it won' show what an action is in the small popup until I've scrolled around a bit on top of the icon. Sometimes it even locks the popup on screen, even with Construct minimized, until I overlap that exact action again with the mouse.
All these issues are things I deal with ALL the time, and especially the #1 issue has me grating my teeth the most. I hope you can fix these!
