Since the latest update I have an ‘error’ message that won’t go away. If I edit an HTML element in the page panel tree, and I don’t escape a character correctly, the error message ‘special characters must be escaped’ appears - this is good - but when I correct the error, the error message remains and tracks the mouse around the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to restart Pinegrow. Below is a screen capture of the message.

You are not the only one that experience this issue, see this topic/post.

> Thanks for your input, Rob and Marf. I understand why the error shows and continues to display until the tag is closed… but the error does not go away after the code has been completed and the warning pane ‘sticks’ with my cursor until I reboot. I’ve reported this to the tech team at Pine Grow and they’re working on it as a possible bug. BTW, I’m using a capital A just here in this forum to highlight the tag type.

@randyrie reported this to the Pinegrow Support and they are investigate the issue and its hopefully fixed soon.

Thanks @Marf - I looked to see if there were other reports - guess I didn’t look hard enough! 🙂
