problems with graphs

we've got a problem with graphs. when we run our model and show one of the indicators in a graph, sometimes there keep on coming extra runs. This happens when you check the 'show one run' checkbox in the properties of the graph, or just simply when you select the graph. Also when we run again, there keep on coming extra runs. These have the same name as the name we gave the name with SPECIAL>RUNNAME.
We tried to reload the model, to restart the program and the computer, we tried to copy screens in a new project, rebuild the screens, but it doesn't help. With another model the problem does not exist. Last week the problem didn't show up (with the same model)
Do you have any idea how this might happen? The model is quite big (consists of 30 views ), might that be a problem?

A second problem is resetting a graph. To reset, we used the Venapp command SIMULATE>CLEARRUNS and the command Graph>Update . Last week this was working, but now it fails.

Sometimes Sable is kind of frustrating...... :-). We're using the latest version of Vensim and Sable.

We've found out why the problem is occurring!!!

The problem is caused by the name of the variable that you want to display in the graph. If there is a ' (a single quote) in the name of the variable, it gives the problem described above. So don't use that in names. :)

I will look into that in the code.
