possible bug concerning re-imported result tables

[Volker Baecker]

Hello,
I think this might be a bug in ImageJ. What I try to do is to save a
results table which is not the system results table (Results). Later I
want to reload the table and continue to work on it. I do
File>Import>Table and add new lines to the table using print. However
when I try to save or duplicate the table now, only the original lines
are there, all lines added since the import disappear.

The macro in the attachment demonstrates the problem. What I would
expect is to have a table with two lines in the end. But there is only
one line.

Best regards,
Volker Bäcker

This bug is fixed in the latest ImageJ daily build (1.51k18). It would also be good to change saveAs(“Results”,…) in the example macro to saveAs("Text”,…) or the macro will fail if the “Results” window is open.
