I think I first had the problem more than two years ago. I still can not link it to a specific activity. What I observed: I had it with files that I hadn't edited and which worked properly, i.e. the interpreter did not complain. I often had/found the problem when using text diff with active tab or a selected file from the harddisk. The problem is always in one single line. Looks like a string is read or written beyond the end. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,76922,76968> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
