Possible IV-Play 1.8.4 bug?

I found a bug in IV-Play 1.8.4 (at least on my system). When you cycle through all the art pages with mouse clicks it gets stuck on the last page, in my case: No art. Alt-1 through Alt-0 work fine, and if you type Alt-0 when the program first starts up, which takes you to the blank art on my system, a click then gets you back to the Alt-1 artwork. Once. You have to cycle through all of them to get stuck. Once it's stuck, it's stuck. Even Alt keys don't work any more.
However, on restart, if you pressed Alt-1 while you were stuck in the last session, it starts up with the Alt-1 art screen. Same goes for the other Alt keys.
I find that occasionally, it doesn't get stuck the first time, but if you keep clicking through it eventually gets stuck.
Anyone else seeing this?

Sort of. I can click through the art until I get to a blank page, and after that either clicking further or pressing alt-digit gets me nowhere and it stays on the blank page. Restarting it makes the clicking and alt-digit combo work again, until I get to the blank page again and it stays there until a restart. [Also, selecting another game in the list sometimes resurrects/resumes displaying (some of) the art without requiring a restart.]
By the way, I don't think this is new. I had the 'click to the blank page and stay there' effect for as long as I can remember, but never bothered to ask around about it; I just leave it at the screenshot page since that is the one I care the most about anyway.

By design; you have to click in the art area in the upper right where a regular small snap would be. So you can cycle through them to the 'no art' view, this is true w/ the various info dat files that display in a text control as well.
Secondarily, you're probably clicking on a blank space beyond the right of the game tree but not in the art area. This will cause focus to be lost from the game tree and won't display any art. Select a game and the art/dat will be back. Always ensure you have a focus box showing on the game in the game list and you'll be fine.
