Hi,

 

This has been an ongoing issue. I am an irc quote junkie and can be counted on to provide embarrassing things that people have said in the past, but since my collection has grown rather large, I use ctrl+f (find) to locate certain quotes. Once I hit enter, I can briefly see that the first instance is found and then the client closes. Sometimes after it closes I get the "Swiftkit has stopped working blahblahblah" (I haven't seen it in a while, and despite my attempts to get the message to display it stubbornly refuses to, but it's a standard message). I did a cursory search on the forums but didn't see anyone who had the same problem. Can someone explain why this happens? For now I just avoid using ctrl+f and everything works fine.

 

Perhaps I should explicitly state that it's not pulling up the search bar (ie actually pressing ctrl+f) that makes it crash, it's typing in something to search for and hitting enter that makes it close.

 

Thanks!

Does it happen with only one particular set of notes? (you can right click open to switch)

 

What Windows do you have? Is it in English?

I only have the one set, didn't know you could switch. I am using Windows Vista in English.

Well if you set another.....does it crash?

No, I tried a couple more things. Created a new empty notepad, copied and pasted the contents of the original, tried ctrl f, crashed.

Then I copied and pasted about half of the original. Then it worked fine.

3/4ths, worked fine.

The limit seems to be somewhere around 30k characters or 5k words (I assume the search function would loop over characters but I could be wrong). After that point sk closes. I'm guessing some kind of overload? The solution seems to be splitting up my notepad, but now I'm more curious as to why it's doing this in the first place.

 

EDIT: It doesn't matter whether I'm running RS or not, IRC or not, or everything at once. I believe the first time I had this happen was when I was boss hunting; fortunately nothing terrible happened. At that time I just chalked it up to some random glitch and assumed it wouldn't happen again.

I've never tried it with a lot of text...I'll do some testing and see if I can replicate it.

Switch to the staff server and tell me if that update fixed it. Password is ruckus13
