I could not reproduce. Please give me a little more details on exactly which pattern you clicked on.

Now I realized it was only because I use a browser extension called Diigo highlighting .

I apologize.

a bug?

when I go to viewtopic.php?p=128463#p128463

and click viewer on the NEXT comment,

the Lifeviewer
gave me:

invalid pattern

I am researching possibilities of occasional using of cloud computing (a container or a virtual machine) for CA simulations; and whether it could be cheaper/better for me than trying to buy a small, relatively silent, linux server and running it at home.
