When I compile now I get this blank box.
No idea what its for

its the holder for the Device Picker.  Does this happen every time you compile, I have never seen it appear at compile time.

Yes it happens every time

You can probably make it do the same by adding a $ifdefine that has 2 "device = " statements

I get this box whenever I save a file, but this isn't a new issue.

I'll try and tie down the logic better that shows the box.

Shame I hadn't been made aware of it before the last update if its been around for some time.

Hi John,
IIRC, I did post about this a long time ago but I had since assumed it was a quirk of my Win 7 installation so I didn't press the issue.

I have made a change which I hope should prevent the popup appearing when not wanted.
It means that if you want to change a existing device line you will now have to double click on the existing device name to bring up the picker.  Otherwise everything else should be the same but without the pesky popup.

Link as usual is here

64 bit version only.

The phantom box is no no longer present, well done John.

If you type Device = NN where NN is the series a dropdown will appear with a list of all supported device in series.  You can further filter by add further characters or just scroll down to the device of your choice. Double click on entry and it will update the page.
