_restore_pos2 Change/Problem

[PiezonTM]

I have some scripts I've written that no longer work.  I've narrowed the problem down to some changes to _restore_pos2.  My script saves the position then restores the position at different points in the code.  However, if the restore is now made twice with the same handle it no longer works--it used to work. 

Example,

Code: [Select]

_save_pos2(functPos);
_restore_pos2(functPos);
_restore_pos2(functPos);

The Slick-C Error dialog reads:

Code: [Select]

Invalid selection handle

file=util.ex offset=3933

I can workaround the problem with an immediate save.  But I would like to know if this is an intentional change that I need to work around or is this a problem?

_save_pos2 and _restore_pos2 use a selection, and _restore_pos2 frees the seleciton.  So you can't call _restore_pos2 twice.  Can you use save_pos and restore_pos?

I wrote this script about 10 years ago and have been maintaining it through different versions of SE.  So it escapes me now why I chose _save_pos2/_restore_pos2 over the other.  I did change the code to save_pos/restore_pos and the code worked fine.  Thanks.

Out of curiosity, did something change in those functions?  This script worked fine in past version of SE using _save_pos2/_restore_pos2.

Thanks for the time.

I think it used to silently fail. Now it lets you no you goofed pretty badly.
