What's causing a delay for adding to table?

I'm running into an issue I'm not sure how best to troubleshoot.

I have this particular "advantage" which costs 3 points. However, if the hero taking it is from a certain nation, the cost is reduced to 1.

Right now, and this seems to only happen with an advantage that has a discount for the hero's nation, the first time one is selected on the table_dynamic it takes forever to complete the addition to the table, going to the 'hourglass' cursor for a good minute (so showing the process isn't completely locked up) before completing.

Every other advantage seems to do the same until a second 'national' advantage is selected, and then it all returns to normal.

I have a feeling it's something in my cost calculations, but not sure where. Is there a debug setting or something that will show me a trace of what's going on?

Thanks!

My guess is that somewhere, there's a for...next or a foreach...nexteach that's being triggered to run infinitely from this item, and somehow not from the others (as far as I can tell, HL does some testing for infinite loops, and can escape them after a while).

I'd add debug lines to the for...next and foreach...nexteach commands for anything related to this - without more details, I can't suggest which of them might be the problem.
 
Thank you Mathias!

I found the issue in a lastpos(str1,searchstr) check. In my case, it looks like the searchstr was empty and I guess that makes it check the entire hero for "" ? The position when I did a notify turned out to be something like a 10+ digit number...

Could this be an error in the function?

Thanks!
