Re: Progress Made?
I'm sorry for Arthur Urban and his experience of perpetual crashing on WinXP, and I'm glad to see Jacqueline's statement that the problem has been acknowledged and is being fixed. I just want to confirm that this doesn't affect everyone: at present I am switching an app I'm developing between OSX and and WinXP machine many times each day, with both machines running RR2.7.0, and for me both are entirely stable. Incidentally I also find that I don't have to zip my .rev files to swap them between machines (I use an external server for both archiving and swapping), which I believe is contrary to some other people's experience. For me it would be interesting to find out what are the exact circumstances causing these crashes, just in case I suddenly create them by accident. But it certainly ain't a universal problem.

Re: Progress Made?
Hi Arthur, Has there been any progress with the perpetual crashing in WinXP? I personally have made progress: I have not crashed the Script Editor (or anything else) in over a week. What have I done? I've made a conscious effort to apply the changes made to each handler in a script before changing another handler in the same script. If you, like moi, tend to modify more than one handler in a large script before applying the changes, you might try doing what I'm doing and see if you find the SE more stable. Or you might, as I promised RR Support I would, try opening a stack with a large script and start cutting and pasting between the script and a text file at random to see if you can force a crash.

It appears to have something to do with copying and pasting into the script editor, so that's when you should be most careful. Save a lot. Also, any word on when we can expect a patch?

I'd like some confirmation about this from a regular XP user, but it is my understanding that if you get the error dialog from Windows saying the program must exit, there will be a button at the bottom of the dialog offering to show more detail. If you click that, you will see a bunch of gibberish. That gibberish is the crash log, which you can copy and paste into a text file. However, I don't use Windows as my daily platform so if someone knows more, please post. And thanks for your willingness to help. I think they have this one isolated now, but in the future any crashes should always be reported to Bugzilla. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Progress Made?
Has there been any progress with the perpetual crashing in WinXP? I literally save every couple of minutes because of the instability of the IDE. I would like to note to any Rev Developers that might be listening though, is that the crash potential is the highest when I have text selected in the script editor. Obviously it does not crash every time text is selected, but if I know I'm going to cut/paste a number of lines of code, or comment/uncomment them, I save first. Selecting the text itself does not invoke the crash, but attempting to do other things (like click in the selected text, or making Rev think I'm dragging text) these seem to be real catalysts for the crash scenario. Can we please get this fixed? Surely the Rev Developers themselves user their own tool on WinXP. It must be crashing like crazy for them too, no? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I'm working on a small project and for the first time trying to use 2.7 because of it's anti-aliased graphics (which are great!)
