Summary0001229: v1.0rc luxblend panel becomes unusable
DescriptionOn occasion the Luxblend panel in Blender becomes a set of empty dropdown menus and it is necessary to restart Blender again to get Luxblend working.
Steps To ReproduceSeems to happen at random, most lately when I started to create a new matte material for the luxball.blend file. had just chosen a diffuse colour when it happened.
Additional Informationattached screenshot shows panel after crash.

Solution: use a Blender 2.62 or later ( 2.63 ? not 100% sure )
TagsNo tags attached.

This is a known problem with Blender API which gets provoked when you change some property really fast like dragging a color picker with a mouse. Some concurrency issue i guess (especially since it's really hard to reproduce).

The easiest way to avoid it or make really unlikely to happen is to input values by hand or at least not drag sliders and color pickers.

I'm not sure whether we should close the bug since it's not directly related to LuxBlend. Maybe LordCrd could once again try to debug Blender internals?

The question here is not what luxblend/pylux was used, but the Blender version.
Recent changes in api after 2.62 ( if i remember right ) should completely overcome this issue.

This bug can be closed, i added a Blender recommendation in top information.
