[Bug] Edit window has a lot of problems

[mikehdt]

Describe the bug There's several:

• After a short while of editing, the reply window will lock up and stop accepting text input (presumably while it's trying to sync with Hotmail). The app also freezes a lot during this time
• If you alt-tab away and back, the cursor is reset to the first character instead of where you were typing, doing this several times seems to make it worse (maybe the trigger for the point above)
• After hitting Reply, pressing Ctrl+z will completely wipe the message, even if you've typed something
• Sometimes it thinks you've selected two messages but you've only selected one, and there's no way to "deselect" them other than qutting and restarting
• Pressing backspace from the first letter of a word also deletes the space character as well eg. hello w| -> press backspace -> hello| - w and space are deleted together???
• Pressing delete from some characters also deletes space eg, |- Hello -> press delete -> |Hello - - and space are deleted together???

Expected behavior For those things not to happen and for the editor to not lose content.

Additional context This is with v1.9.0.0

Fix for backspace issue already merged. Next store update should have it.

New version 1.9.1.0 is available in the Store as of today. Please upgrade to newer version and let us know if you still experience these issues.

A few are fixed, thank you.

Then today I was composing an email that had some images in it, and after a while, the app just froze up, said "this page has run out of memory", and then refused to do anything else. When I quit and reloaded, the entire draft email was lost. Not fun.

It might be worthwhile to really poke and prod at the message writing component, especially testing working with emails with images added, as there seems to be a lot of both technical and usability challenges around this.

I do appreciate the realities of this as an OSS project. Conceptually it has a lot of the attractive simplicity of the (now retired) Windows Mail, but at least for me, the challenging text writing experience which has now made me lose a lot of what I'd written through crashes and freezes makes this currently not a feasible replacement. While I'm not a Windows developer so can't really contribute code fixes, I do hope that the text writing experience can be improved, as well as its reliability.

It is still very buggy.

Basically just try to reply to any email, type some text, insert a few links from other apps. It gets in a bad state very often.

The issues are so severe, I am composing any replies where I need to Alt-Tab in Notepad.
