Copy Here crash

Post by ShortyOrty »

When right clicking on a file, dragging to the same pane or to the second pane, and then selecting "Copy Here" from the context menu causes the program to freeze. This is not really a crash, but the application no longer responds (I gave it a couple of minutes, the file in question is 50k in size). Task manager shows that the XYcopy persists, so it is not ending the task gracefully. The file does get copied. I can reproduce this at will. Version 21.90.

Edit: on second visit, this is only happening on .docx office files. jpg, pdf, mp3 are copying fine.

You are not previewing these files (preview pane or via the show info panel - preview)?

Does it happen when you tick this:
Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Context Menus | [x] Hide shell extensions from shell context menu
?

Does it happen in a fresh instance (execute fresh; from the address bar)?

Yes, the preview pane was active. Hiding the preview pane allows the file to copy fine.

Ticking the option for context menus does not prevent the freeze (with the preview pane active).

Copying in a fresh instance works fine (with the preview pane).
