		+	Problem: ''''My system suddenly has the wrong root class / doesn't compile anymore because it doesn't find the strange wrong root class''''
		+	* This issue arises if EiffelStudio crashes / is killed during the (foreground) debugging of a test case (via the corresponding button in the testing tool). On Windows, crashes should no happen, but there is an issue on Linux with the foreground debugging of test cases we haven't been able to solve. If you are debugging a test case that passes, OR you are debugging a test case that fails, but you press "Continue" after the exception occured (instead of "Stop", to end the execution immediately), EiffelStudio will crash.
		+	* Solution: You have to manually set the root class of the system back to the correct class (via Project Settings, or by directly editing the .ecf file)
		+	* Prevention: On Linux, use test case debugging ONLY for FAILING test cases, and after exception occured, STOP the execution (with the "Stop" button)!
