Combos Numbered above 65279 can be Accessed and Edited

Combo #65279 is supposed to be the last editable combo, as the combo list ends there. If one scrolls down the end of the combo sidebar (next to the screen editor), the menu stops after while at that "last" combo, as it should. However, if the mouse wheel is moved particularly quick manner, it is possible to have the sidebar skip over the end and stop at a combo a number of rows below the actual "last" combo, letting you edit combos with higher numbers that should be possible.

What's interesting is that these "nonexistent combos" still function like any other. They can still have animation and can be placed on the screen. It makes me wonder where the memory for these is allocated.

EDIT: For what it's worth, combos after the "last" one don't carry-over through a quest save, so they are actually totally worthless.

EDIT2: I just noticed as well that applying the same trick while in combo alias mode crashes ZQuest.

This bug is still present in build 557 despite DakrDragon's message above. The problem appears to be worse than before, although it could just be my computer's response to having more programs open.

Ah. Build 557 isn't actually a new build, I think Sean didn't recompile the ZC binaries. I'll get right on that.

Ah, okay. Sorry for my confusion, and thank you for the quick reply. 😊 Indeed, I can confirm this bug is fixed in Build 559. However, a bug that was said to have been fixed in the same effort, found here, was not.
