Freeze when adding quote to url in XML view

[pmiess]

when editing a new feed, if I copy a url and create a invalid XML by having an empty attribute followed by a url the publishing tool freezes

Thanks for the error report. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the problem yet.
Could you post the specific XML snippet causing the freeze here?

Its hard to pin down. The error messages in the Event log show code 0xc0000005 and 0x0000374 which translates to heap corruption. Given that, it seems likely that its not the last thing I did but something previous to it. all I'm doing is editing some fields with valid or invalid data and editing the XML in the bottom window sometimes incorrectly.

That's curious. Heap corruption strongly indicates there is a problem with a native component and not the .NET code of the editor itself. However, there is no native interop code in the editor.

Perhaps it has something to do with ICSharpCode.TextEditor, the editor used for XML syntax highlighting. While this component is pure .NET code it does some fancy stuff with System.Drawing.

Unfortunately these kinds of crashes haven't occurred on any of my machines yet. Some information that might help me build a test environment for reproducing this:

• What Windows version and language are you running?
• Which versions of the .NET Framework are installed on your machine?
• Could you send me a copy of a feed file that caused a crash (event if it is not always reproducible)?

It was Windows 7 64 bit in english
I'm not sure about the framework as the HD has since died from being dropped
and the feed file was starting with an empty one and editing it.

Thank you for the update. I'll see what I can find.
