The current release of RB still does not allow REALnewInstance of a plugin
class (super = object) in the IDE. Does this mean that it won't be supported
at all? I haven't seen an official response to this, the only one was the
statement:
"For plugin classes, however, there will be some restrictions on what is
possible inside the IDE".
and some other statements that either favors or rejects usage of
REALnewInstance. Usage on "MyAttributes" leads to a crash of RB in the IDE.
A crash of course should not be happening, while it does!
