Could you please test the attached draw loop BUG osm? Simply open the osm and click on the top (leftmost) display in the osm order in the upper overview row. On my machine SM crashes instantly. Remove the redraw trigger and everything is fine.

Crashes for me also, though it takes a 2-4 seconds.

Yes it crashes. Not sure it's really a bug though - normal usage would be to have one ReDraw to the left of the loop which ReDraws all looped elements in one go. Even if you could have a ReDraw triggered per iteration, the result on screen would be exactly the same - but the extra ReDraws would just add huge amounts of extra CPU load. If the intention is an animation showing a series of frames, then a normal green loop outside of the GUI part would be the way to do it - using a ticker to set the frame rate.
My guess at what is happening... Loop receives it's first ReDraw trigger - loop starts counting - on the first count a ReDraw is triggered - this new ReDraw re-triggers the loop (possibly nested within the initial loop) - which creates a new ReDraw trigger - which retriggers the loop - and so on ad infinitum until there are no more resources to create another nested loop.

It aint a bug. I had a similar thing a year back and talked to Malc about it. Seems that you can cause a sort of feedback loop doing what you did.
Edit: Hee. Exactly what Trogg said.....

It delivers a full and fast crash at my place 😀

OK than it seems that the behaviour isn't a bug but a mistreatment of the prims. Which should lead to a red line feedback loop crash avoider. So could the missing feedback loop recognize be considered as a bug? If not, at least the module description should mention how to treat redraws with using draw loops?

Absoluely. A red line AND a better description would be nice. Just add it to Malcs list 😉
