FWIW, I just posted a report and example stack to the RQCC:

<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8268>


I'm rewriting my script editor to use multiple cards in a single window rather than a separate window for each script. The migration has been going well, with one oddity:

When I first set this up, I had the stack's closeStack handler delete every card from #2 on:

   go cd 1
   repeat with i = 2 to the number of cds
     delete cd 2
   end repeat

This worked well enough, but I found that about half the time I saved the Rev engine would crash. The file was fine - I can reopen it, edit anything easily, and even save it again. But only after it creates multiple cards, about half the time it crashed during the save command, while half the time it saved just fine. FWIW, the crash occured before the "~" copy was made, so it's something early on in the save routine.

On a lark I move the card deletion from the closeStack handler to a preOpenStack handler. Now it works fine all the time - I can save without difficulty.

Anyone else seen odd crashes during save?

I've checked the RQCC, and there's only one report of a crash during save which doesn't seem related to my circumstance.

It's all good now, I'm happily editing away, but it's the sort of thing that makes me wonder if I've tripped across some rare but possibly-devastating-for-some-client-project-down-the-road issue....
