I believe this issue has been fixed in one of the daily builds (the widget version you have access to at the moment is very much outdated).

Daily builds are available to subscribers, or you can wait for the next public release in which all daily build features up to that point are released to the public.

@jonathanbeebe - As stated in my original post, I have upgrade to build 703. My paid subscription is under my company's email address, and this account is used simply for forum posts. I am still having this issue with the newest available daily build.

scrollView widget still works for me on build 703. Can you provide more code?

Yes, could you please fill out a bug report and submit a test-case sample project that shows the problem in isolation? The smaller the project, and the more you can narrow it down the better. It also helps determine if its a problem with your code, or if it is an actual bug.

Thanks. Here's a link to the bug reporter:

a bug report, along with steps to reproduce and a test case, have been submitted. Case #10470.

For anyone else that is interested, the crash occurs when you add a scrollView's view object to a group, and add that group to another group. Below is code that demonstrates the issue.

chatWindow:insert(scrollView.view)
