Submitted on issue tracker.

When creating a text effect, as soon as you staret typing in the text window; Xlights crashes.

I believe this is just on Windows and only if more than one color is selected.   

Already fixed it.

I am not sure it is fixed dan. Unfortunately I also struggle to debug the text effect because it is broken under visual studio. I will try to get you a sequence that reproduced the problem.
