Tabs with theme hover crash XY

[Sakis]

Donald, I was trying the new build (6.30.0051) when noticed the following possible bugs.

Sometimes XY simply crash without error message, other times it displays a "Runtime Error '14' - Out of string space" error before closing.

Please try the next steps...

- Open XY
- Press CTRL_T a few times to open some tabs
- Move mouse cursor over the rightmost one
- Press mouse mid to close it and see what happens. Try to close a few more tabs, starting from the rightmost one.

Another tabs related issue I've noticed is that hover effect doesn't work always. Manytimes, tabs remain highlighted even when the mouse cursor has moved.
Although I'm able to reproduce it, I cannot give you the exact steps. Just open 5-10 tabs and move mouse cursor over them. Sometimes it works ok, other not.

I hope it helps

I wasn't able to replicate your exact problem, but I did manage to crash Xyplorer by opening a lot of tabs, then closing them like you said in your post. Here's what Windows reports about the crash:

Have no idea if this is caused by the new tabs, but I was unable to crash it when going back to the classic style.

Here it crashes everytime. BTW the exception code in problem sig is the same, c0000005.
Just a few seconds ago, I crashed XY only by selecting some of the opened tabs. Seems that hover effect needs a little refinement.

There seems to be a problem with the new tabs/hovered effect indeed. I'm not sure which, my active tabs are actually on the left!
But, using the XY classic themes there's no problem at all.

I'm getting an unresponsive/crashing XY when closing the most-right tabs, as well as some drawing issues. This is especially true is I close the last/most-right tab while that one or the one on its left is active at the time.

Always using middle-click to close.

I'm pretty sure Donald will have a long night tracking this nasty bug.
Happy hunting brother!

Come on, it just took me 10 minutes...

Great work, I just tested the latest build and have not been able to crash it again

I am just wondering, did you do any other optimizations as well? Just asking, because the program responds much faster now when closing the tabs, and it does not have drawing issues mentioned earlier in the thread either

If you can't blame it on the wheather it must have been me.

I do seem to recall one time some months ago when it did take Don a while (about a day maybe?) to fix a crash issue...we called it "Black Thursday" if my memory is right...but that was a very rare exception!

Bravo Donald, you're really fast!
