And, the default warning sounds do not play when secondsLeft=60, secondsLeft=3 or 2 or 1.

Can't figure out the error you got.  I'll keep digging.

I do hear the default warning sounds at those times.  Are you sure your events are configured to play sounds at those times?

[Corey Cooper]

OK, well I did find where you are likely getting the error, but I cannot figure out why.  Are you getting it every time you try to bust a player out?

[jodybingo]

The error happens every player I bust. I am able to continue without incident though. And as for the warning soounds, they are set to the default. I haven't modified anything in the events panel

[Corey Cooper]

If you turn off the "Allow Find on player dialogs" preference, do you still get the error when you try to bust a player out?

[jodybingo]

the "Allow Find..." checkbox was unchecked. I checked it, restarted TD and got same results. Unchecked, restarted and still got same error message. By the way, if it isn't too late, an undo/redo button on the layout tab could come in handy...Drag and drop with cells from the toolbox to the rows/columns too.

[Corey Cooper]

Interesting.  I will continue investigating.  Thanks for checking on that.

Drag-and-drop in the Layout is actually high on my list.  I'm overhauling the drag-and-drop on the Tables tab at the moment - nothing big, just seeing how I can improve it in a few ways.  I'd love to get drag-and-drop for the layout into 2.6 but I think it's too big at this late point in the game.  Need to just get 2.6 out so I can get back on a quicker release schedule.

Undo/Redo for the layout: I agree this would be nice.  The issue now is that the easiest way to implement this is to simply create copies [of the layout] as you make changes.  Then performing an Undo is as easy as moving back to the most recent copy.  Unfortunately with the changes to the layout in 2.6, it now contains a lot of objects and copying the layout is actually very expensive.  So I'd have to come up with a cheaper way...
