RE: code designer eliminating source

Just had something similar happen.  Just did some changes to a display file
and did a compile.  Recompiled the RPG and it was clean.  Went to run the
program and it gave me a level check error.  When I went back to the
Designer to recompile, I noticed that 3 of my 5 new fields were underlined
and red on the designer screen.  When I would try to click on them the
Designer would just end.  No questions asked.  When I looked at the code
closer, it appears to have made a complete copy of the screen record I was
working on and made up a name that was not related to any thing.  Very
strange.  I also have SP5 applied.  Does this sound familiar?
