V8.2 "Not Responding" when updating XY Graph Prpoerties

[ST1]

LabVIEW 8.2 running on Windows XP crashes (slows to mouse clicks then gets reported as "Not Responding") when I try to format the plot properties (color, weight, etc) on a multi-plot XY Graph.

ST1,

Could you provide us with some more details so that we can better help you?

• How much data must be graphed to cause the slowdown (both data-points and plots)?
• Does this happen with any multi-plot XY chart or just in one VI?
  
• Is your XY chart inside a tab control or similar structure?
• Is your computer running low on memory when this happens?

I was having the same problem as ST1. One of Simon H's questions gave me the solution. My graphs were in a tabbed structure - by removing them from the tabbed structure first, I could change the graph properties without any problems.

Any idea why this should work?

Cheers,
Ben
