Thanks for trying it Bob; I do NOT get the crash when I edit the control label directly as you described. Interesting. The crash happens only when I open the animation controls by clicking on the "+" to the right of the control and type in a number such as 1 in the little white input field, then move the mouse and click on another control. As I said earlier in an email, this problem went away when I use SynchronousUpdating -> True. Kernel does not crash any more. Only when SynchronousUpdating -> False, and using Dynamic Plot inside the control variable area, that this crash happens. File: http://12000.org/tmp/bug_input_slider/ it is called filter_v9.nb The fixed file is called filter_v10.nb XP, SP2, Mathematica version 7 thanks, --Nasser ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Hanlon" <hanlonr at cox.net> To: "Nasser M.
