Author/Date Scribe crashes when creating new mail after fresh install

After installing the v2.2.2 version, I ran it and hit alt-n to create a new mail and it crashes without producing a dmp file. Using the "New Message" menu item and the new message button on the toolbar also crash.
I can respond to emails, it's the "New Message" feature that is broken.

This also happened with the v2.2.1 version, but it went away after I used it for a while without creating new emails.

Haven't been able to reproduce this yet. Will keep trying.

Which OS version are you running?

(Still can't repo with a clean install... there must be something specific to your system or setup that triggers it.)

I'm running Windows 7.

There is a potential fix for that crash in the next build. Not 100% certain that was what you are seeing.

I'm still getting this crash with the v2.2.2. It occasionally clears itself up and allows me to create new email, but then when I restart later, it resumes crashing. I haven't been able to put my finger on what clears it up.
There's no dump file produced.

I think it's related to the code that turns HTML into rich text objects. So turning off HTML editing will probably fix it. Or try removing links/email from any signature?

More recent build.

There's no dump file produced.
Do doubt a side effect of going to 64bit. I'll have to look at that soon.

Updating to the latest build fixed this problem.
Thanks for the quick response.

This still happens, i.e., crash when creating new mail, intermittently with v2.2.9.

Unhandled exception at 0x000000007754F3E2 (ntdll.dll) in Scribe.exe: 0xC0000374: A heap has been corrupted (parameters: 0x00000000775C8430).

Interestingly, if I open the debugger and continue to execute, the new mail window opens up, but it does nothing as the main application has crashed. It looks like you need to add a try-catch block when opening mail?

Correction: after restarting InScribe, the mail that was created after InScribe had crashed, was sent and received.

That doesn't give me enough detail. I've fixed the crash handler to output a dump file so if you could reproduce the crash with v2.2.10 and then report it that'd be helpful.

Creating a new mail works after installing v2.2.11.

This crash has gone away before and then resurfaced, so I'll let you know if this happens again.

I did fix some paths in the IDE project for v2.2.11 that pointed to old versions of 2 source code files. Potentially that'll mean various bug fixes are now included in the latest build. Fingers crossed it's all good now.

The crash is still happening; unfortunately -- no crash dump.
However, if I turn off "Populate recipients from clipboard" in the General settings, the crash does not happen. Something in the clipboard processing causes the crash.

Crashes occurred with the following clipboard contents:
- mailto:xxx@yahoogroups.com
- a URL.

Fixed for the next build.
