IDE v2.3.0.529
Runtime v2.3.0.401

I am working on my long term project and now am running into this issue.
This error happens every time I try to add a variable definition to one specific object; obj_unit. Specifically, it happens when I try to type the name of the variable in the "variable definition" menu of the object editor. Adding a variable definition to a different object does not cause this error.
I can still compile and run the game correctly.

I updated to this version of GMS a few days ago, and this error first occurred today.
I apologize if this post is in the wrong section, I am new to these forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide any other helpful information.

I don't know if this is related, but this appears in my "Output" window upon loading the project. I don't recall if it was happening earlier.

Make a backup and use this tool. Maybe your project is corrupted.
Thank you for the tip! I downloaded the YYPMaker tool and ran my project through it. It generated a new yyp file. When I open that yyp file in GMS2, the error persists. Thanks again for suggesting I try that, unfortunately it did not fix the issue.

Please file a bug report and include a link to the YYZ of the project with the issue, and explain the issue in detail (and link to this topic too). Sounds very much like a bug in the IDE...
