[IDE] 'Find previous' sends Editor into an infinite loop

Post by Blue »

applies to PB 5.60 (x64) running under Windows 10 Pro v.1703

No sample code necessary or pertinent, i believe. :D
The title says it all.
I've experiencced it many times.
As I'm writing this message, the PB editor is currently in a loop, has been for the last 10 minutes, and, apparently, will keep looking, forever, for something it can't find :cry:
"That's not a bug..." said the programmer. "it's a feature! "
"Oh! I see..." replied the blind man.

Thanks for looking into this, Fred.
From your comment, I gather that the problem is neither as common nor frequent as I thought.
I'll try to identify more specifically the circumstances which raise the problem and provide you with reproducible steps.
I'll get back to you, as soon as I can, when I have a little more time.

I'm also unable to reproduce this error on Windows 10 Pro V 1703 using both 64 and 32bit IDE.

Try as I may, i'm no longer able to reproduce this problem either, even though it was recurrent not so long ago.
I tried with PB x86 and x64. No dice. Everything is working as expected so far.

As Andy in the message just above, I'm running Windows 10 PRO v.1703.

Could be that the problem came not from PB, but from the previous version of Windows 10...

I think I have experienced this once or twice... but I don't know a repeatable way to cause it.
