Ah, sounds like that in the debug build at least I will get a heads-up
that there could be trouble ahead. For this one, I'm not sure what
triggered it...possibly when I attempted to right-click on the Dashboard
collection in the sidebar and missed at first with the pointer. 

Also, I have also seen the event status field in the detail view go
blank/white (as in no visible data and no dropdown control) a couple of
times accompanied by an assert failure. I hadn't repoprted it, because I
was trying to figure out a reproducible pattern. Thought I'd mention it
here. I'll send the traceback in a bug report if it happens again.

Thanks, Andre
