System Information
windows7 64
ASUS ATI Radeon HD6870

Blender Version
Broken: (all)
Worked: (none)

Short description of error
in we create custom properties in material panel

it will not work in graph editor

try to change this property and we will not change driver
go to graph editor select rotation difference

and click on this

blender crush
and else, we will not see this property in this

all properties, createdin object,object data and in particles panel - we will see there, all others(in material, textures,world) - will not see

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open file drivers_bug.blend
and change property value - we will not see change driver(intensity)
P.S. we can add driver on any settings(not only material intensity) - bug will be active
but if we create properties in object or object data panels - working properly in all settings

First of all, please do not mix issues this way in a single report, makes things hard to manage.

The last point is no bug at all, afaik we only want object's props here, not all possible others.

I just fixed the crash issue in 094433faa9.

Remaining issue (lack of immediate refresh in case of using a property from another ID block as driver) I would guess it’s a limitation of our current DAG system. Not sure though, so let’s see what Joshua says here.

We have proplem not in update.
i was press update drivers button - and don't see result.
Properly working only properties, created in particle system,Object and object data panels, all others(world, textures, scene) - not working.
this is not immediate refresh problem, this is never update problem.

These sound like typical dependency graph limitations. The only things absolutely guaranteed to work with any level of reliability (but only when there are no cyclic dependencies involved) are objects and object data. Everything else is only a happy coincidence.

@Inwader77
This is a friendly reminder to report different issues in separate/individual bug reports instead of tacking them on to the end of existing ones.

The properties you're referring to there in the 3d view are on object-level only; the ones you see on the other tabs correspond to different contexts (i.e. armature-data and bone data respectively).

OK where i will see custom properties created in material panel()for example?

All datablocks (i.e. object, mesh, curve, material, texture, world, lamp, nodegroup, scene, armature, and camera + bones (which are a bit of an special case)) can have their own custom properties. These can be found in the custom properties panel for that datablock (i.e. usually in the corresponding tab in the Properties Editor).

If you want these properties to be made available elsewhere in the UI, you're going to have to script up your own custom panels to display those. I'd recommend firstly familiarising yourself more with Blender's internal data model before going any further with any of this. Also, please direct further support questions like this to the forums first.
