I was following the directions on http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/koffice/kexi/designing-forms.html for building a form. When I use the text box widget it appears to instantly shut kexi down. The first time I tried it today, it seemed to work, but consistently after that it just snap, shuts Kexi down the moment I place the widget on the form surface. This makes work very hard!

Thanks for your help!

Hi, this defect looks exactly like http://osdir.com/ml/kexi/2010-10/msg00001.html (please read about the temporary workaround).

As mentioned there, Kexi 2.3.0 or newer has it fixed.
