new user with new bugs (maybe)

Hi,
New to openCPN, haven't take the time to read all posts. These bugs may have been reported before. Running version 1.3.4 under windows XP:

-crash (reproducable easily): execute openCPN, activate track icon, right click on my boat and delete track several time. After a couple delete accepted, openCPN crashes.

-happens sometimes: loosing wheel-zoom control. Will send detail if I understand exactly in what situations.

-crash (once): openCPN crashed when GPS (garmin) was shutdown. retried but did not recrash.

-map search algorithm bug or normal (?): took me sometime to understand why I could not get all map details of my CM93 library. Here's my understanding (maybe wrong) after visiting the logfile. My CM93 maps are divided into regions. Each region has a sub-directory (at least in my CM93 version). But each subdirectory also include large scale maps of other regions. I only get the detailed maps (small scale) for the first subdirectory visited by openCPN. for other regions, openCPN finds a large scale map in this first directory and will not look for more detailed maps (other levels letters) into other subdirectories (the ones specific to the other regions). Of course, I can change my chart directory definitions when I explore a different region to get the detailed map, but I would think this should be managed by openCPN.

Other than that, looks like an excellent software so far,
Thank you
