Thank you for the report. |
2.15.3 on windows 7 |
I am trying to reproduce the crash, but I have not reproduced it for now. If you find a reproducible procedure please let me know. |
I tried and could not get a crash to occur. I looked at windows crash reports but I don't think they are useful. thank you for checking. |
I too tried a large variety of scenarios, using both 64- and 32- bit compilations, both Debug and Release. No failures encountered. Please do report a failure if it occurs again!

Finally, I'm able to repro the crash, that is hounding me for a while.
Observations:

I still cannot reproduce this problem; but we are possibly getting closer I am using Win10 Pro. I have tried WinMerge 2.15.4.0 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and 2.14.0-jp-152 (32-bit). I have tried with and without an end-line character following the steps 3, 4 and 6. Because this failure seems to require "matching brackets", I presume you are using some Syntax Highlighting (from the View menu); if so, it would be nice to know which one. Also, are you using any "plugins" (from the Plugins menu)? There are other configuration options that may be different for your usage than with mine. So a suggestion... Could you please go to the Help menu and select Configuration. This will produce the file Also... since this seems to be related to Copy-Paste, this could be a funny problem with Locale (natural language) differences between the Copy source and the Paste destination. If you could also provide the very simple source file from which the tiny Cut is performed (used in step 6), that will likely be very helpful. It would be a good idea to package both the Thank You !! |
Because of my false assumptions. Here are updated STR:
Following those steps I was able to consistently reproduce under Win7 x64 same WinMerge. |
Thank You! Using these updated steps, I can repeatably reproduce this problem using WinMerge version 2.15.4.0 !! I note that this problem does not occur with WinMerge built from the latest commit stream (27 Sept 2018, commit 79d460e). Over the last months, I have done a lot of work on WinMerge's handling of the last line of a file, so it is good to know that those fixes appear applicable to this issue as well. But I have not explicitly used the So, even though this issue is "fixed", I don't want to consider it "closed" yet. Thank You |
Well... I never got back to studying this problem adequately in depth. However, I did a brief study (back when the problem was still fresh), and I noticed that the code to handle a Paste operation has significantly different checking than the code that handles Typing. The crash you note in I too will consider the issue Closed ... the general End-Of-Line handling seems reasonably stable now (2.16.0.0). |
I was copying 8 to 40 k chunks of text into the program. On occassion it would crash mostly when I was deleting the text from one side of the compare. I will try to find a repeatable crash. But it did not happen all the time... This is not from openning a file and comparing. I paste text directly in the compare windows.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
