I am currently working in Arsenal 3, but I would prefer to use the more recent DatEdit.
None.
DatEdit closes when I switch editing modes
DatEdit has suddenly started to give me a really weird problem. Several of the tabs cause it to close when I click on them. Weapons, Techs, Images, Sounds, Portraits, and Campaign, to be precise. There is no error message or anything. It just hangs for a few seconds, and then closes. Can someone help me?

Don't use A3 at all when doing .dat editing.
DatEdit hates A3 and so should you.

I DO hate it. I can't do any of the stuff I need. But I have to, because fucking DatEdit won't let me edit weapons or techs or anything!!!!! *uberly frustrates*
None.
The problem is that A3 tends to screw up data and DatEdit doesn't like it.
So if you begin working in A3 but decide to make DatEdit do the rest of the work, you won't get far.

But... I can't use DatEdit...
None.
Sorry, I made a big mistake. I assumed you used A3 for your work before you used DatEdit.
I currently don't know how to solve this, I would probably send BroodKiller a few PM's.

Or is there a version of Firegraft that works with the newest patch?

All older versions of DatEdit I had did the exact same thing as you described. I have no idea why, as they used to work fine on my previous computer (both use XP). In any case, I've found that the most recent version (1.5d) works beautifully. I don't believe it is uploaded here, but you can read Broodkiller's post.
Lord of the Locker Room
It was a problem I reported to BK and had him fix. If it couldn't find its files (if it was moved around, even the whole directory) it would explode sometimes.
Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.
Finally got around to upgrading. It works now.
Lock plz.

No need to request a lock when a question has been answered/solved. It will either naturally fall off the first page and be forgotten, or if people turn it into a spam thread it'll be locked. Otherwise, by remaining open, the thread has the potential of helping other people with the same/similar problem.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[04:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.[03:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.[03:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new
