Description

This is related to the issue I just filed. Since lively is an integrated system, when a world fails to load due to a bug there is no way for the ordinary user to recover it. The world-not-loading error is always due to a user error, typically a fatal bug in properties or initialization code. But at a minimum, the user needs a world with an editor so they can fix whatever the problem is. I don't know if a "Safe Mode" is the answer, or trapping errors so only the offending morphs won't load, but I do know this is one of those problems that makes people walk away for good when they hit it.
