SketchUp 8 Observers crash

AdamB

Just beware that it appears that SketchUp 8 has had some work done on Observers that has introduced a nasty bug.

Drag a Component into your model and leave it selected . Open the Ruby console and type:

Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].add_observer(Sketchup::InstanceObserver.new)

ie Add a 'do nothing' Instance observer and now try quitting SketchUp. It crashes in some STL deep inside SketchUp.

Bit of a show stopper as any significant plugin for SketchUp uses Observers. I guess we just wait until Google deliver a fix..

Have you used InstanceObserver before SU8?
I could never get it working - no events ever triggered...
