summarizing results of line measurements

[Jim Passmore]

Think I may have found a bug in the Summarize function of the Results
table.  If I make a series of line measurements, the table records the
Angle and Length of the lines, plus whatever other measuremnets are
selected in the Set Measurements dialog.  (Aside--it would be nice to be
able to turn the defaults off or on.  I rarely use the angle measurement,
but can't avoid copying it into any spreadsheets I set up.)  If I now
select Summarize, I get no Mean, SD, Min & Max for the Angle or Length,
although other measurements do get summarized.

I looked at old versions, and found that 1.40g works, but 1.41o and 1.42c
(as well as the daily build) all omit summary stats for the length and
angle.

Does anyone else confirm this behavior?

thanks,
Jim

This bug is fixed in the latest 1.42d daily build.
