Livecode should never crash, so this is worthy of a report. That said, the
templateField is a function and it needs to be preceded by "the".
The measureText function only needs a reference to any object that has text
properties, either its own or inherited. You could reference the card for those
probably. Or try it again with the templateField after assigning it the text
properties you want. Might work.
