If you think you have found a bug in Construct 2 you can report it in this forum BUT
• Make sure it is not already a reported bug by searching through the "Bugs" forum
• Make sure it is not a bug in your events, a difference between what you have coded and what you would expect
• Make sure you're using the very latest version of Construct 2 (beta possibly, stable if this is the very latest release available)
• Join a .capx of the issue in the simplest manner possible (no 100+ events capx, no 10 mb capx)
• Make sure to read How to report bugs before posting and providing all the required informations (your configuration, the steps to use to reproduce the bug, any relevant information you can provide)
