alice-teacher Student worlds crashing

[reed-m]

I checked in a later version (I am running 3. 1. 92.0.0) and it still wouldn't open.  I'll download 3.2.5 and check it.  I hadn't downloaded the newest version because I was already experiencing issues with my version being more advanced than my students'. I'll let you know if it will open in the newest version.

Just out of curiosity, once the projects crash in version 3.1.x is it possible to open them in version 3.2.x? Have you tried? I would be most glad to test a crashing project with version 3.2.5 just to check the possibility,
