Re: Macro operations still crash the editor
Hello tranglos,

Both failures on your videos were in the "stackhash_0a9e" module, and since I can't reproduce your issues, I don't believe they are related to EmEditor. I can't reproduce your menu bar crash, either. You might want to google for "stackhash", and you will find many similar cases, which might be helpful. Please update all your graphics/audio drivers, and make sure you have applied all Windows updates. You might want to run a memory test program and check hard drives. You might want to turn off DEP for EmEditor.exe and see if that remedies the issue.

Thanks

Not at all! Kidding?:)

Of course, I know it, but what about "stackhash"?

Right-click empty space in the menu bar -> click "Customize menus". When the dialog box shows up, click OK. Crash!
I cannot confirm it as well! No crash!

Me too currently not using third-party plugins.
And I cannot remember EmEditor crashes since v.7.x.

Re: Macro operations still crash the editor
Well, if EmEditor crashes, it is an EmEditor problem :)

(I guess it could be a plugin problem, too, but I am only using the plugins installed by default with EmEditor.)

APPCRASH is just Microsoft's code word, it doesn't mean anything very specific. There is a very specific code: 005, which in Windows is "access denied". It could be that an unhandled exception caused by this error is crashing EmEditor. Whatever the reason, it does look like an uncaught exception in EmEditor code.

Meanwhile, I have discovered yet another reliable method to crash EmEditor:

Right-click empty space in the menu bar -> click "Customize menus". When the dialog box shows up, click OK. Crash!

This is the latest version of EmEditor on Win7 32-bit, the system is running smoothly otherwise.

I cannot confirm both crashes on EE 10.06 -> 11.03 x64, Vista X64.
Did you try to google for "Stackhash APPCRASH"? It seems like your problem isn't EmEditor issue.

This is normal, because the "Select..." command just "Sets the opened file as the current macro" (from the manual). This command should not run a macro.

Re: Macro operations still crash the editor
I cannot recreate "Crash type 1". It opens up the Macro in EmEditor, as usual.

Trying to recreate "Crash type 2" also failed to crash EE, but didn't do anything either. The macro didn't seem to actually run.

I am using EmEditor Professional (32-bit) Version 11.0.3 on a Hebrew enabled XP box, OS Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 with all windows updates successfully installed.

Macro operations still crash the editor
I first reported this problem in April 2011 here:
http://www.emeditor.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?forum=5&post_id=5626&topic_id=1739#forumpost5626

I'm sorry to say nothing has changed since then. After upgrading to the latest version, EmEditor still always crashes:

1) After clicking Macros -> Customize -> Edit
2) After clicking Macros -> Select and selecting a macro that is not yet displayed on the macro toolbar.

I have created screencasts of the steps to reproduce each type of crash:

(crash type 1)
http://www.tranglos.com/media/embug01.wmv

(crash type 2)
http://www.tranglos.com/media/embug02.wmv

This is really annoying, since I can no longer edit macros in EmEditor. Please fix this issue! (It may be related to the macro toolbar.)

Thank you, and very best regards,
Marek
