Re: Elmer crash when clicking on boundaries

I have partially identified the problem with Elmer GUI crashing when double clicking on a surface. Background info:
Dell Precision laptop, Win10
Intel Core i7 with integrated graphics circa 2015
NVidia Quadro M1000M 3D graphics chip
elmerfem-nightly_Windows-AMD64.exe with date of 2018-12-19
Also was just having the same crash on a version I installed in 2016 (which worked fine then).
If i ran either version of Elmer GUI on the integrated Intel graphics, it would crash (closed out) every time I double clicked on a surface. The surface would never turn red.
SOLUTION: Run Elmer GUI on the NVidia processor. Right click on the short cut -> Run with graphics processor -> High performance Nvidia processor.
It seems likely Elmer GUI doesn't work well with the Intel graphics drivers recently shipped by Intel/Dell. Hope this helps. Devs, if there is any further info or testing you need, please let me know.
