I wasted a couple of hours thinking there was a bug in something.
I was trying to test something using a very small scene and text element (25x25, for both), but every time I tried to tap or swipe it, it would disappear.
Checking the run log, there'd be an "Anon.Destroy Scene" entry from a task with a negative task number.
After the "out of memory" errors and Tasker's failure to complete autosaves (and some other apparent housekeeping errors) my thoughts gravitated to elaborate explanations.
I'm chagrined to confess that it took me a while to realize that the explanation was just that the scene was so small that the Exit Button took up the entire box and the "x" was obscured by the bright background color I assigned to the element. 🤦♂️
As the old saying goes: "when you see hoofprints in the sand, think horses, not zebras".
Anyway, I vaguely remember many years ago, when the Internet was largely confined to academic/research/mil organizations, that people would sometimes start lists of programming/user mistakes they'd made, for others to avoid and I wondered if such a list had ever been started for Tasker?
