5.50.0006 crashing when tab created

Post by Orson »

Attempting to create a new tab by pressing Ctrl+T causes a crash.

The message is "Run-time error type mismatch '13.'"

Also, selecting View > Current Tab produces the same result.

Hummm...just now installed 5.50.6...tried Cntl+T due to your issue...works just fine here! :?
And your OS is? Presume XP ? Given that another bug was just fixed related to that...
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Running XP, Service Pack 2.

I'll provide a screen capture if that's of any value. (Not sure how to post to the forum.)

This happens every time if I launch from scratch (new INI, new catalog). If I use an older INI file, I do not get the crash. .... for what it's worth.

I think the fact that it occurs from a fresh setup is more valuable fact..
Don is quite aware of that particular error msg...he's "been there, done that"!

Posting images: I upload my screen prints or mockups, etc. as JPG to my PhotoBucket account, and then use the "Generate HTML" option to create the needed "[ URL ]" and "[ IMG ]" wraparounds...there are other photo/image sharing sites that can be used...I've seen ImageShack (?) used also...that is, assuming you don't have a personal web host that will allow direct linking to images...

Yeah, XP SP2 here aswell, and it does crash on Ctrl+T or when/before showing the menu View/Current Tab with a new INI. With my own INI though no problems

For fun, I tried running XY in "fresh out of the box" mode...Yup, it crashes for me also! With cross-hatching over addr bar and toolbar...

Haven't tried a fresh ini, but mine's fine with it.
Used to update to the latest beta every day. Now I have children instead…

Luke, try a fresh INI and I'm reasonably sure it'll explode on you also..

Yep, thanks! This is only happening since v5.50.0005 and it won't be anymore in v5.50.0007.
