Hi,

I didn't hear back on this when sent to support@ so I figured I
would reiterate here.

I am able to recreate the crash on demand by doing the following:

1. +/
2. reg_set(nnn,"text")
3. enter
4. click help -> text registers
5. enter

This occurs in both 32 & 64 bit versions for me. I have error
dialogs (png) captured if they would be any help.

Confirmed.

It seems to have to do with the position of the command prompt within
the window.
If the prompt isn't at bottom (e.g. after a window resizing or a
Win_Clear() ) there is no crash.

Oops. I remember seeing your email, but I seem to have misplaced it. While adjusting to splitting my time between two offices, some things are falling between the cracks.

I cannot replicate the crash, but it certainly does not work correctly. Many menu functions do not work from Command mode; we will either fix it or disabled the item when in Command mode.

However, we might not make the fix in time for the release of 6.12.1.

Ted.

{Help, Text registers} is working o.k. here. If it doesn't crash...

To replicate the crash:

- Copy some text in any T-Reg.
- Ctrl-E to enter command mode
- Click {Help, Text registers}
==> There is a colored bottom line in the command mode now.
- <ENTER>
== >Crash

Interesting: If I task-switch to another application and back to VEDIT
before the <ENTER> all seems to work fine.

[Tested with 6.11 and 6.12)

Yes, this is more clear than my steps. I actually go to command mode
first then do the Reg_Set, then with command mode still active,
help->text registers.

I've tried a few variations, one variation I don't get a crash, but
get jumbled information in the T-Reg display.

No need to test this further. It is already at the top of the to-do list for this week.

Understandable. Spam never stops! ;-)

My guess there is another way to check on the T-Regs while working
in command mode. The menu item was my first stab, it's nice for a
comprehensive view and would be useful IMHO to have available while
in command mode if possible.

Not a show stopper for me. I've learned to avoid that item now.
