I just found that when I try to compile a custom indicator, NT cannot compile its own built-in indicators! After considerable puzzlement, I noticed that the error messages all complained about graphics and Rectangle. As it happened, I had just created a custom indicator called Rectangle (an unfortunate choice of name), and the presence of this class broke the compilation of the built-in indicators (my Rectangle indicator was created by the wizard, and not modified). I will rename it, but I feel this is a trap that many people could fall into, and there is no way to know what names could cause this kind of conflict.
This problem is easy to reproduce: just create (e.g. by the wizard) a custom indicator named Rectangle, then try to compile.
I think you should take some action to mitigate this problem in the future. Probably custom indicators should have their own namespace to avoid these collisions. At least, put a warning in the manual, with a list of reserved names.
