so you need to log an issue if you are able to reproduce the exact steps every time as it is hard for anybody to test every single scenario, it would be nice if you could please post the issue number here. cheers:

Done. Please note that I was unable to get this to happen just now, although the steps I logged did cause the crash three times earlier today.

So if the function is one that isn't intended usage can it really be considered a bug?

Good point, Beepster. I've done a fair bit of coding and worked in several companies where coding was going on (even when I was not coding).
 
Normally, if an operation isn't supported and the code is nice and clean, anything like what I described above should have a default behavior of.. well, no behaviour. Nothing should happen. Execution should simply 'fall out the bottom' and go back into the main wait loop looking for further input from the user.
 
So, if the software locks up, the implication is that the code is somehow going down an execution path that's not intended. If that happens, there has to be some bad or mangled code somewhere and that constitutes a bug. At least, that's my reasoning.

If "my finger slipped off the mouse button while my selection was moving over top of the take lanes' "master" track." is considered a bug then a guy's hand slipping off a steering wheel and causing an accident is a defect in the automobile.  Silly and an exaggeration but not entirely off.

In order for this analogy to match, everyone in the car would have to die.

You see, a solution !
