Has this issue been resolved or is it still a good idea to avoid update 4??
Were the problems created on xp, w7, or w8?

Jetzt wenn ich ein Projekt öffnen will und drücke auf den "Projekt öffnen" Button, geht das Fenster zum auswählen auf, sobald ich jedoch die Maus auf das Fenster ziehen will, schließt es sich automatisch.
************

When I open a project and use the icon 'project> open', the will be a pop-up-screen. As soon as I want to go over the screen with the mouse it closses automaticaly

************
Wenn ich die Maus mittig im Monitor positioniere (wo das Fenster aufgeht) und das "Projekt öffnen"-Fenster mit der Tastatur öffne, kann ich in dem Fenster rumwerkeln, verlasse ich das Fenster mit dem Mauspfeil, schließt es sich automatisch...
***************

When I position the mouse in the middle of the monitor (there where the screen opens) and open the project with the keys, I can work in the screen but when I leave the screen with the mouse-Arrow, the screen closses automatically.

**************
Wenn ich ein integriertes Projekt öffne, kommt nach wenigen Sekunden, nachdem das Projekt geöffnet ist, folgende Fehlermeldung und das Programm schließt sich.

When I open an integrated project I get an errormessage a few seconds after the project is opened and the program closses.
