Exception: vector<T> is too long - new cause

[aevojoey]

This seems to be the same error as [https://github.com//issues/139] that was closed on July 22 but with a different way of getting it.

Description of the Issue

Since updating to notepad++ version 7.5.9, I have been getting the "Exception: vector is too long" error. It only occurs when a collapsible line is collapsed and visible on the screen and you try to scroll horizontally. If a collapsed line is not on the screen, there is no error.
I removed the DSpellCheck v1.4.6 plugin and the error stopped.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Open a file with collapsible lines (html, js, php, etc.)
2. Find a line that is longer than the width of the screen with a collapsible line on the screen
3. Do not collapse the line and scroll horizontally (with home/end, arrows or scroll bar) -> no errors
4. Collapse a line on the screen and try scrolling horizontally again -> Exception.
5. Scroll vertically so that the collapsed line is no longer visible and try scrolling -> no error

Thank you very much for describing the issue so thoroughly! Since this is a serious problem I will try to release a version with the fix very soon.

Meanwhile could you check if the version of the plugin from the link below fixes the issue for you if it wouldn't be too much trouble?
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/s4mc8o0q6wum0e2i/artifacts/DSpellCheck.dll

Hi, Predelnik,

Ah, yes ! aevojoey is quite right about it ! I have this same issue, too and I verified that it happens also, with version v1.4.5 and version v1.4.4 with the fix of the bug #139 :-((

But again, Sergey, the fix of the v1.4.6 that you propose, in case of folded lines, must had been compiled without the XP support ( same issue as in my reply, relative to issue 139 ) !

Many thanks for investigating ;-))

must had been compiled without the XP support

Yeah it was a bug in CI script. This version should be with winxp support:

Hello, Predelnik,

Ah, I'm really sorry, but I always get an error ! This time, the message, in French, said :

The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\System32\MSVCP140.dll is not a valid Windows image

Oddly, I don't have any dll, named MSVPC140.dll, on my system ! I, then, tried to download, successively, several versions of that dll, from various sites. But, either I got the same message or I had a message that the VCRUNTIME140.dll was missing :-((

And after download of the unique version of VCRUNTIME140.dll that I could find ( among 4 DLL sites ! ), install on C:\windows\system32 and a laptop reboot, I still got errors :-((

What am I doing wrong ?

Cheers,

Yeah it should not be the case, seems to be another problem on my (appveyor) side. This one is a little bit more confusing as it can be seen from logs that it correctly compiles with /MT option for C runtime.

I will look into it.

Edit: it looks like /MD is still present in some compilation lines. Quite possibly it's due to different CMake version.

[Predelnik]

Ok good news is that I've discovered the cause of the issue after spending some time. It was due to bad typo in CMakeLists.txt resulting in my Release build not being correct. And since I deploy 'Release with Debug Info' build most of the time, it was not affecting me that much.

Here is version which should work (sorry for that many iterations):
https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/m8jk80d0t0tm5ixv/artifacts/DSpellCheck.dll

Hi, Predelnik,

This time , it's the right one, Sergey ! Everything is OK, with your last version, on my Win XP configuration ;-)) No more messages about missing DLL !

Many thanks for checking your code and fixing that issue !

Cheers,

I have the same issue when choosing language ASP to view a copy/pasted text. Switching to other languages does not throw this error.

Edit (more info): I had a comment-type line at the top of the copy/pasted text, starting with and including multiple equal sign symbols (=). It was not part of the original ASPX file. Removing this line from the top eliminated the error message.

Windows 7 Professional on desktop, Notepad++ 7.5.4 64 bit.

@trackvsb
Just to make sure - is problem still reproducible with the version from the link below?
https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/tag/v1.4.7

[trackvsb]

The problem disappeared after I updated from 1.4.6 to 1.4.7. Thanks for the fast response!

[Predelnik]

This case should be fixed by 1.4.8 currently available through plugin manager. Please report any other cases of this error, thanks!

[Predelnik]

Hi @laconeo
First of all which version of the plugin are you using? Can you try the latest version first, you can find here: https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases/tag/v1.4.10

If it still does not fix the issue it would be really great if you would provide an example of the file where you get this error.

[laconeo]

i was using 1.4.6 i have updated to the last version and problem solucionated! thanks!

Hi @Predelnik
After automatically upgrade N++ (v.7.8.2) stay DSpellCheck.dll in v. 1.4.6 - Why?
After manually download and replace v.1.4.10 error is removal.
Thanks for info.

[Predelnik]

@piitr64 Through Plugins->Plugins Admin version 1.4.15 is available, I don't know if plugins are updated automatically after updating N++ though but that's beyond my control.
