It's very important for me that the program runs well quickly because I have to experiment at th 20th February.
What I have to do ?
Thanks for your answer....

Hi Agnès,

Thanks for pointing this out. This seems to be a bug in 3.1.5 when there are two or more linked sketchpads in the same sequence. That's serious enough to fix immediately, so I'll probably release 3.1.6 later today.

For now, could you confirm that you indeed have two linked sketchpads (i.e. copies with the exact same name) in the same sequence, and that the problem goes away when you remove one of them?

It's very important for me that the program runs well quickly because I have to experiment at th 20th February.

You can always download older versions from the download page.

Cheers,
Sebastiaan
