C::B Crashes when you close a project you are currently compiling

[sethjackson]

Well I found I bug I think. I was compiling my project, and I accidentally closed it. :lol: Well GCC continued to compile, but it failed on linking and C::B crashed. Why is it possible to close a project you are currently compiling? It's not a big deal, but it is interesting nonetheless.

EDIT:

I submitted it over at SF, but I didn't log in first so it is submitted under nobody.

Interesting, the compiler explicitely disables this item (and a few more), so that should not be possible?

And yet, you are perfectly right.

Hi, do you also have a CB crashing problem when exiting CB on an XP box?

[sethjackson]

Nope. Well actually it crashed once when I had one .html file open. I closed C::B with the .html file open and it crashed.

CB Crashes every time I close it.  I can close the project w/o a problem, but the program ALWAYS exists by crashing.

It crashes for me every time I close it. It just started to do that with the update to RC1-1. This doesn't happen when I use RC1. I can close project just fine. I am working on Windows XP sp2.

Cool    , I"m not the only one & you've narrowed it down to a specific version.  Excellent!  Ok, what do we do to notify a programmer fo this bug?  I'm still to new to know the proper protocol.

This bug is closed for so much time now...
Before submitting bug reports, make sure you check the closed/deleted/pending bug-reports first.

Found the source of the problem.

Everytime I choose Auto-Hide Message pane under Environment/View Tab and exit the app, it saves the environment change but starts crashing everytime I exit.  I'm using an XP box on an Intel.  Wow.  This is awesome to find.   

& I'll be sure to search the deleted/fixed bugs sections next time.   Sorry about that.

Thanks....

At the browse bugs page, select "Closed" or "Pending" in the "Action" box and click "Browse".

Hey sorry for bumping the thread. RC2 STILL has this bug.

[rickg22]

Yes, we know I'm the one who fixed that bug in CVS/SVN.

Perhaps we should add it to the long-forgotten "known issues" page.
