No, not a bug the cents the program dose not work, it's a bug in the
cents that if the user has a message flash up, they not sure
about depending on the speed of the computer, this is bad user interface
design. And my book that's a user interface bug.
In stead of flashing up a message box, you can put on the message on the
status line, "No fill area's defined".. etc.
At least give the user some usable indication of whats going on.
