Gamesalad not working properly!

in Working with GS (Mac)
Hi there!
I have been working on my latest game, and then suddenly I click on the preview button, like so many times before, and the game doesn't play, it just sits there like you would see it if nothing was running (eg. nothing hiding etc.)
Then some basic commands like going back from the preview window or an actor and nothing happens.

I then try to run another game, fine.
I then test the game in a web preview...a bit glitchy, but fine.

What can I do please? Any tips?

(I am running the latest version on Mac Lion

    Scrap it, I worked out it's cause of a basic, yet vital error in the code, still don't quite know why it worked in HTML though....

    People are too quick around here blaming GS when 90% of the time they have an error.

    Perhaps I should have done more testing, but with me it was a clear mix, GS was playing up, and it even did after I fixed the code.

    I have few issues with GS really. No more than the common well documented bugs and I am full time making games and apps with GS. I use this software 8 hours a day everyday and never have the kind of supposed problems I read around here.

    It was probably just the code error causing GS to slow when performing tasks such as clicking back from an actor, meaning it went weird.

    @FryingBacon that is really good to hear :) I actually read this thread in order to scope out any problems down the road, as my GS has gotten a habit of dying on me with an OSX error report. This caused me to worry about problems down the line, so I wanted to catch them in advance. Really nice to hear you don't have significant ones.

    Yeah GS has some memory issues. When I can tell it's slowing down I just close it and open it again. I do that a couple times a day but it's no big deal. They have been working on the leaks. I expect it will get better in the coming months.
