Run button dead in 10.05

(1) Clean install without compiler on Windows 7

(2) Created "Hello, world!" C project using wizard (project called hello). Created a debug target only.

(3) Attempted to compile. Ooops, no compiler.

(4) Went to Settings | Compiler and debugger

(5) Added an alternate mingw compiler to the list (my_gcc_compiler) along with its toolchain. The default compiler "GNU GCC Compiler" does not point to an existing toolchain.

(6) Edited my hello project to use the alternate compiler (my_gcc_compiler) for both the debug build target and top level build target. This was under "build options".

(7) Hello project compiles successfully.

(8) Hello project runs successfully in debugger.

(9) Hitting the green arrow or Build | Run does nothing

(10) Went back to Settings | Compiler and debugger. Pointed the default compiler (GNU GCC Compiler) to same toolchain as my_gcc_compiler. Both are now valid.

(11) Presto-chango! The run button now mysteriously works.

(12) Invalidating GNU GCC Compiler (by setting toolchain directory to "c:\") causes run button to mysteriously not work again.

Run button should not be dependent on default compiler tool settings if they are not being used, and perhaps not dependent on any compiler tool settings. Design issue?

Thanks for your attention!
