1. ee22cs5 Editor BUG/CRASH
Carl:
If a line is selected ( HIGHLIGHTED ) beyond the end of a
line ( which can be done ) and you do an alt search then
the editor will crash. I think that this is a bug in the
xle. The problem is repeatable so you should be able to
find it. I do not understand the code enough to find the
bug and fix it myself.
Thanks
Bernie

If the editor uses win32lib, there is a win32lib error exactly like that...
Derek should have fixed that in his next version.... Derek?

Exactly like what? Is this a bug with richedit? If so, what is it.

Select-and-search is buggy - very buggy - and has been since I added it to
EE:CS. (At least I think it was me - maybe I just broke David Cuny's
existing code).
The xle.e code can be a nightmare - if it was simpler, there'd be an 'undo'
feature as well as a bug-free search algorithm.
Having a full-time job does tend to reduce free time; There were a bunch of
feature ideas to add in time for the release of Eu2.3. Since Eu2.4 is upon
us, you should be able to tell what kind of timescale is attached to any
updates to EE:CS.
Be careful with, or just don't use select-and-search. :(

Weelll.... I remember in a MleEdit, if you select over the edge of the line,
and then do an operation on the selection (ie cut, copy, etc) the
interpreter will crash... I don't know if the behavior is the same in a
RichEdit.

I can't get it to fail. Can you provide me with a demo code that shows that
it fails?
