Replace All in Cost Item

Problem

Doing replace all on Cost Item-- Pricing Method causes a quit after doing about 10 items.

Diagnosis

User is using Replace All in Cost Items, replacing the Pricing Method value. It runs a bit and then quits unexpectedly.

Solution

A bug, fixed in version 2.9 of Goldenseal estimating software.

This will happen only if they are doing the replace on >30 items, when it hits something which updates >20 assemblies. The second progress dialog wipes out the first one, which then gives a nil pointer error when we try to update a dialog that no longer exists.

As a workaround, they could do the replace in smaller batchs.

When we fixed this, we did it generically so similar problems should not happen elsewhere either.
