MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Run the following code from a program (.prg) file:

  LOCAL aobj[1]
  LOCAL xx As Form
  DELETE FILE testxx.sc?
  CREATE FORM testxx NOWAIT
  =ASELOBJ(aobj,1)
  xx = aobj[1]
  xx.AutoCenter = .t.
  xx.WriteMethod('click1',[WAIT WINDOW PROGRAM() time 1],.t.)

  KEYBOARD 'Y' CLEAR
  RELEASE WINDOW 'Form Designer'

  DO FORM testxx 
  testxx.click1
  testxx.Release 

  MODIFY FORM testxx NOWAIT 
  =ASELOBJ(aobj,1) 
  xx = aobj[1]
  * Uncomment the next line to set up conditions for a possible fatal error.
  * xx.ResetToDefault('click1')
  RETURN

2. In the Properties window, click the Methods tab. Find the Click1 method,
  right-click it, and select Reset to Default. The method will be removed from
  the form instead of being reset.

  If you uncomment the last line of the code above, you will see a stray entry
  in the Properties window, where the Click1 method should have been. If you
  double-click that entry, you receive the following error:

  Fatal error: Exception code=C0000005
