Hi - trying to work around another issue with StarAlignment mosaic thin splines local distortion option (memory leak/infinite loop), I'm trying MosaicCoordinates for the first time in a while.  I have 4 xisf files solved by ImageSolver in PI 1.8.7 and saved (AnnotateImage works perfectly and the coordinates are loaded accurately by MosaicByCoordinates), added to MosaicByCoordinates and run with "High quality" option selected.  Update: "Fast" option yields the same result. It errors after some processing on the first file, and does not output any registered files. Error dialog says: TypeError: resWindow is null Do you want to continue with the process?"

The end of the console output:
