At a guess: you loaded a corrupt map file. The best thing you can do to help the issue get resolved is post your log file (http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=21330.0).

Ok i did find something.

If i dont name the map when I hit create new map. It works fine. But when i name it something, it does the bug.

I had a similar problem, can you tell me what exactly you name the maps?

I didnt name it anything. It worked when it was just "My Map".

Doesnt work with any other name

Ok then. I noted that using colons (:) in the map name caused the same problem.

Map names are used for the name of files.  So anything that might be an illegal character in a file name could cause a problem.  I'll look into making colons, slashes, and backslashes illegal in map names.

Hmm. That might be the cause.
