Status: Implemented

**STE **
Mac OSX 10.6.7
Reproducible: Yes
When using the Mac OS's built-in dictionary feature in the text area of STE, the program instantly crashes. The dictionary feature I am referring to is command+control+D whilst hovering the mouse arrow over a word in a text area.
By the way, is there a way I can somehow recover the text that was in the text area before the program crashed? Do you have like a backup file that automatically saves with each character stroke or something? Because I would love to be able to recall that paragraph I just wrote up :D

That shortcut isn't used for anything else, so I don't think it's conflicting for that reason. Did a quick Google search and can't see any results about similar problems with Java apps on Mac OS either, so it may be STE-specific. Does the crash happen only when you are hovering the mouse over a word and press that key combination, or any time that STE is in focus / on top ?
Unfortunately not :\ It's something that I should be able to add though. This should solve the problem: Autosave (autosave every minute or two) Included page "inc:signature" does not exist (create it now) |

An alternative would be to implement a dictionary of my own, that uses the same shortcut… or at least find some way for it to gracefully handle the error rather than crashing when they keyboard shortcut is used.

(Edit, Permalink) ![]() Clicking on the 'more details' option produces a whole heap of information about the contents of memory when the crash occurred, which unfortunately doesn't help as there's nothing STE-specific in there that I can find, it's all generic JRE stuff that doesn't help me figure out why it crashed.

Seems to be a problem with Apple's implementation of Java. Edit: And Apple's bug reporter doesn't work… so where am I supposed to file a bug about the bug reporter? xD How ironic… Included page "inc:signature" does not exist (create it now) |
