Sam, I've noticed several times that screen grabbing sometimes fails if the user does not take a step to move the selection within the "Map/Charts and images" list box before clicking the "Define as Moving VFR Map/Chart" button. Other steps may produce this error, but the key seems to be clicking a button immediately after grabbing an image and before moving the selection away from the name of the image in the list. I've noticed it, especially when adding the first image to the list.
For example, these steps at least sometimes produce the error:
1, Create a new flight plan with two valid ICAO codes for which you haven't saved info.
2. Select the departure or arrival tab of the new plan.
3. Click "Google for ... info."
4. Click "Grab."
5. Select an area to grab and press "Enter."
6. Give the image a name and click "OK."
7. Click "Define as Moving VFR Map/Chart."
Sometimes following these steps results in the following dialog box appearing:
Sometimes following these steps (if another grab has been already saved), the map configuration window opens, but the new screen grab is missing.
Currently a workaround is to select another list item after step #6 and before step #7.
In my programming experience this happens because the list control is configured to save changes to a database when the focus leaves the list item, but not when the focus leaves the list box.
