BUG: DM exception upon file reload after external editing

Post by extrasoft » Tue Dec 08, 2009 1:06 pm

Please excuse me if it's already known or even fixed.

BUG: Compare files produces exception and application quits upon reload of one of the files after external editing.

Procedure:
1) Start app
2) Open two files to compare
3) Fix one of files in external editor (Far Manager or whatever)
4) Switch back to DiffMerge
5) Confirm the reload of file
6) Bug could appear there. Try both appending or shrinking of file from external editor.

I assume the memory realloc issue in the code.

In general I couldn't reproduce this, so I will need more information. What OS is your client on?

What type of file are you editing?

If you try the same test with two text files and edit with notepad, do you get the same error?
