  Does the editor properties dialog crash for you? (Message 1 to 8 of 8)

Hello,

A member of the POVRay team has informed me that several customers have
reported crashing POVRay 3.1 when invoking the code editor properties
dialog (rclick then 'Properties', or Alt+Enter) and switching to the
'Keyboard' tab.

I have been unable to reproduce this, and have not heard anything from
non-POVRay users of CodeMax.  

If you have experienced this crash, could you please respond to this
message with the following information? 

1) Operating system version (e.g. Windows NT 4.0 SP3)
2) Keyboard language locale (set in Control Panel - keyboard settings)
3) What localized version of Windows are you running? (US? German? French?
etc)

I'd like to get this fixed immediately so the next version of POVRay will
not crash.

Thanks!

  Hi, Barry. The following question might also help you.

4) Can you consistently repeat this bug/crash?

Alan,

Thanks for the heads-up.  From what I've gathered, this crash happens 100%
of the time..

No, it doesn't...
I have no idea why, but in the first time, I had a crash every time I
used either language or keyboard tabs, but lately, it hasn't crashed at
all. I can't say what changes I have done, since i continually update
software that changes drivers and such. but I can tell that there were
no new OS or hardware install. Sorry for beeing such a poor bug-finder
in this case.

Hi Barry !

  This is unrelated to the keyboard tab issue but since I had a fault with
the control panel tonight I thought I would share some info with you.


  I usualy have several files open at once. In one file I cut some text of
of the file, opened a new file and pasted it in. I accidentaly cut a little
too much out so I highlighted the text I needed to return to the previous
file with the shift/arrow keys. As I was doing this my overly sensitive
mouse button in my other hand brought up the control panel. With my finger
still on the shift key I clicked on the desktop to close the control panel
and I got the FFFFFFFF warning. Actualy I recieved three different warnings
as listed below.


The first was -
Access violation at address 1000ABDA in modual cmax101.dll
read of address FFFFFFFF

immediatly followed by -

Access violation at address 0077EEF1
read of address FFFFFFFF

Note: there was no mention of modual cmax101.dll in this warning
or the next -

Access violation at address 51FF01B2
read of address 51FF01B2

None of these cause pov to crash and it recovered without complaint.

  I was able to repeat these access violations at will by repeating the
highlight text, right click for control panel and clicking on the desktop
sequence. I closed the program and then restarted it. With a little bit
of pushing I was able to make it happen yet again.

  I have a pentium 200 mmx 128 megs of edo ram in one bank. My keyboard
is an older AT standard 106 key unit set for the english language on a
windows 98 US version platform. At the time of the access violations
I had only two other programs running in the background - one explorer the
other a small calculator program I keep handy floating above the Pov session.
Nothing else was active in the widows task monitor window at the time of the
problem.


If you haven't already done so please see my recent comments to Alan in
povray.bugreports concerning this issue.

Ken,

Thanks for the note.  I'll respond privately for more details since this is
not the bug-reports forum.  Expect my email by the time you read this.

Thanks!

-Barry
