Probable resource shortage — 7.0.0 goes caca on large UTF-8 text file

I have a file that makes 7.0.0 go all wrong. It’s essentially an all-the-codes-of-Unicode list, and it seems to create some kind of resource shortage in Windows — dialogs and widges stop displaying, and so on. Notepad is OK.

I’ve temporarily uploaded a copy to http://pws.prserv.net/jwkennedy/utf-8.zip

I reproduced this problem, and I confirmed it was a bug in version 7. This was a special case because this file contains all Unicode characters. I will fix that by the next version.

To work around this problem, run RegEdit.exe, and add “UseUniscribe” value as DWORD in the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareEmSoftEmEditor v3Common

and UseUniscribe = 0

However, some characters might not be displayed if you use this work around.

Thank you!
