Selecting first cell in Bus tab of I/O Window causes ProTools to hard crash/exit.

Title

Selecting first cell in Bus tab of I/O Window causes ProTools to hard crash/exit.

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

It should open I/O window, delete existing busses, create default busses, then create busses based on the Stems names inputed into stemNames variable.

Are you seeing an error?

Protools crashes when selecting the first cell of the Names column in Bus tab.

What happens when you run this script?

Have used Pick to select the first row in Bus tab, so that subsequent created busses appear below that row, displacing default busses.

This code on line 44 does this and is the same as the code on lines 33.

How were you running this script?

I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

How important is this issue to you?
