Reason/Issue A software bug has been reported that when using certain ROI (region of interest) editing tools, if simultaneously right clicking, pressing Ctrl-S or Ctrl-Z while the left mouse button is held down, the views can appear as if the left mouse button had been released to complete editing. In order for the bug to cause saving of an unintended state, it has to be triggered during the very last edit made to the ROI. Saving of an unintended state may lead to ineffective and/or unintended radiation therapy.

The patient views and the beam’s eye view will always be displayed correctly in the Plan approval dialog and in the plan reports. Closing and reloading a case will always generate correct views. Dose is always computed based on the stored system state.
