CARBICA LiveDVD Demo Troubleshooting

During data entry into ICA-AtoM, if you encounter a white screen after clicking the EDIT button:

Change section of URL from "index.php" to "qubit_dev.php" and hit return. This should fix the white screen and allow you to continue data entry
It may be necessary to make this switch from time to time
This is most likely due to a segmentation fault caused by issue 1995 which does not affect all users
