a minimum value for a
capacitor which should prevent a negative value being keyed in.
'When' is the check?
I am not sure I can do this on initial setup. I seem to do it at-will by editing an existing setup. Transformer voltage dialog objects to <2V at first setup, but if I enter 2V then click again to edit, it accepts backspace dash (leading minus sign). It may *later* throw floating-point or other error, but a re-edit negative is accepted and often runs. (Often enough that I did not immediately suspect fumble-finger.)
It *may* depend if I OK out of the dialog by mouse-click or by TAB to the OK button and Enter. Not sure of this, and I have to take the car for inspection today....

Hi Paul,
Thanks for sending the screen dump and other info. I've had a look in the file you sent, and the value in there is definitely -1E-6 (-1uF). However, I cannot offer any kind of explanation as to how it got in there.
I've checked the code back as far as I can, there is version control back to 2011, and even back then there was a minimum value for a capacitor which should prevent a negative value being keyed in.
I'm working on Build 78 here which is slightly newer than your version, but there are no heavyweight changes between the two. I'm unable to duplicate the problem or key in a negative value no matter how I try. That's probably not a helpful answer, but I'm out of ideas on what might be wrong.
Regards,
Duncan
