Well, the good thing is that you've pointed me to a few more issues I have to work on  ...

SVN r3653 has a fix for this now, but note that I still need to find a work-around for a possible crash when systems are 'hovered' very quickly (so asynchronous updates may work on meanwhile invalid data).

SVN r3655 should have this fixed, at least I can no longer reproduce the crashes here. I'm marking the slot-option related scan for changed device-instances as a 'critical section' internally now, so specific GUI operations are postponed until that section has completed. You'd usually use mutex'es for this, but both parts are running in the same thread, so it seemed more suitable to use a timer-based 'retry operation' approach.

Tomorrow I will make new builds.

Yeah, happy Easter  ! BTW, I've also checked MAME 0.145u6 compatibility now.

Well, there already IS an option for that. See "Front end" -> "Machine list" -> "Show device sets"  ! See also in our wiki (still WIP, but this section has already been added).
