Unable to launch Editra 0.5.51 on MacOS 10.6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If Editra 0.5.51 is stored in a folder whose name contains an accented
character (in my case "é"), it doesn't launch.

-----

OS: MacOS 10.6.2 with French localization.
Editra version 0.5.51 (previous version worked fine).

-----

The error message is:

Editra Error
An unexpected error has occurred during execution of the main script
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during execution.

and I have to click "Open Console" or "Terminate".

In the console, the traceback is the following:

Hi,

Did you have previous version installed at the same location?

Thanks,

Cody

Hi,

Yes. I always install Editra in a folder named:

/Volumes/Partition 2/Applications/Développement

Regards.

Luc

Ok, I don't think it is a unicode issue then because nothing has changed on 
those
code paths in a long time. This is good though because the error above makes 
more
sense then. 

It is likely a logical error in loading the syntax highlighting support 
registry,
possibly something new was added or removed between your previous install so 
that on
the first startup the bug was exposed but by the second startup the registry 
had been
re indexed so its size did not change again.

Should be fixed in current svn
