Hi,

I found that when reopening my existing project, I
cannot change the dependencies for certain tasks. I
can draw the connection but it is not accepted. Even
when going via the 'task properties' menu, I can add
the predecessor but it is not accepted: the line is not
drawn and when lookin g at the predecessor list, the
newly added task is not there any more...

Only way out is to unlink the task completely and start
from scratch.

    I think it happens because you are creating a dependency
    loop. Are there any exceptions in console?

    I have the same problem - yes a looping error comes up in
    the console and the link is still in the .gan file however
    it does not display and is not used in the timeline
    calculation. I have a file I could attach but am not sure how.

    I have the release candidate for 2

    That's also my problem. Some tasks refuse to make links to
    other tasks and after unlinking and relinking all the tasks,
    it's working again.

    Another observation:
    If linking A to B does not work, linking B to A works.

    And a further observation:
    If I have more tasks than would fit on the screen and a
    scrollbar is seen, this happens: If I try to create a link
    from some task to another, not even an "rubber" arrow is
    drawn from the first task. Just nothing happens.

    I don't believe, that it has to do something with a loop
    error because:

    1. it works after linking everything a 2nd time?
    2. it also fails, if you try to link a newly created task
      (without any predecessors) to the first task of a group of
      linked tasks?

    Are there any unknown restrictions, which tasks can be
    linked and which not?

    As linking tasks is a main feature of this program, it's a
    real pity, that such a basic feature doesn't work correctly.

    ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS IN CONSOLE?

    Is there any precise reproducible scenario?
