Today it happend again.

when creating a light there are 3 clicks needed.

First one to set the origin,
second one to set the distance and
thied one to set the direction.

If the third click is one the same point as the second point SU crushes.

Hope this explanation does help

You're right, that's the problem in this case. We are trying to create a vector from the light position to it's target but if they are the same point it throws a ruby error.

We'll get that fixed for the next release. Thanks for the additional info!

The same thing happens when you use the light target tool and try to point the light at itself (for the same reason). We'll get that fixed too.
