Shimmering variable editor window

On a particular Webi report, when I create a new variable using the Variable Editor, if I re-enter the Editor, the window 'shimmys' as if it is stuck in a loop constantly refreshing the Editor screen. If a delete the last variable created, the behavior ceases. It doesn't matter what I create for a variable, it just won't let me add one.

I have discovered the cause of this behavior and it appears to be a bug in WebI.

The main factor seems to be the length of the program name, particularly the number of continuous characters, combined with the size of the available objects list. When I created one too many variables in the variable editor, the behavior of the looping refresh began. By expanding the editor window, it stopped. The permanent fix turned out to be getting out to the folders pane and saving the report with a different name - in my case, putting an extra space in the name.
