Losing 'player' from side panel tree

Has anyone else experienced a problem with losing the 'player' marker when moving it around the tree to test specific parts of your game?

When this happens, the game won't load properly (I just get a blank screen with a text field stretching from the halfway point), and there seems to be no way to recover it. Worst of all, when you hit play it auto-saves the game, and if the player marker was lost at that point, it saves the game in this state.

Above the tree is a search box, type "player" in there and click the magnifying glass. If it appears, go to the attributes table, find the "parent" attribute, and set it to some room where it will be safe.

If it is not there, create a new one. Create an object as usual, call it "player", and on the attributes tab have in inherit "defaultplayer".

Ah! Thank you, TP. You know when I lost it, I was hitting Ctrl+F to try and get a search function up. I'd forgotten about, and completely missed the built in one at the top of the pane.
