Details about the bug:

• Web browser and version: Chrome 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit)

It seems this._pInst at https://github.com/processing/p5.js/blob/master/src/core/p5.Element.js#L239 appears to be undefined.

Can I ask if this is fixed ?

[Zalastax]

@ashleyjamesbrown it will be fixed once #3150 is merged.

[Spongman]

could we possibly cherry-pick this fix into a special branch off 0.7.1 and release that? it seems like this is a somewhat critical issue that deserves to be fixed outside the regular release schedule.

[lmccart]

@Spongman I agree. I will make a new release now..

Have the p5.js libs been updated on the p5.js website? I manually updated my dom lib based on issue #3150 and it is working. Thank you for all the help.

[Spongman]

yup, 0.7.2 includes a fix for this ;-)
