Crash on XP32 when Saving or Finding #40

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open .TXT file
2. CTRL-F
3. Crash

I have used Notepad2-mod heavily for several months on my ultra-stable 
workstation and the last 2 days I have been experiencing crashes for the first 
time ever.  I thought this was strange.  A virus check shows clean. (MS 
Security Essentials).

Ultimately I got Notepad2-mod.4.2.25_r486_x86-32. to crash every single time 
opening a simple .TXT file.  I reproduced it about 5 times in a row.  I cant 
say exactly why it crashed under this particular scenario.  

So I updated to r505 and immediately retried the exact same Find crash 
scenario.  I couldnt reproduce.  So I guess that fixed the Find crash. 

But r505 crashed on saving a new file I wrote in 15 seconds!  I opened a new 
Notepad2, typed 3 sentences, hit CTRL-S and it crashed.  I saved a DrWatson 
user.DMP and analyzed it with WinDbg and attached it here.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP SP3 32bit with all updates.  4 core Intel Core i5 CPU.

Additional information: About 3 days ago I upgraded my nVidia GeForce drivers 
from the ~Jan 2011 release to the current release (June 2011).

There is nothing I can do. I have never had a single crash with Notepad2 or 
Notepad2-mod. Ever.
You can try debugging the problem yourself which means building Notepad2-mod 
with VS2010 or ICL12 or WDK (remember to add /DEBUG in the LDFLAGS).
Also you can try and see if the official Notepad2 is crashing under the same 
circumstances.
Either way, good luck.

Or try the attached debug build (Debug_x86.zip). Attached is also a WDK build 
(Notepad2.zip) to see if the problem still happens.

Thank you.  I agree it is strange, Notepad2 never crashed for me either, until 
the past few days.  I haven't had any other software crash unexpectedly lately 
and I use the system heavily.   I searched my Event Log and found that Notepad2 
r486 did also do the same crash back on 2011/06/24.  This was definitely prior 
to my nVidia driver update.  Here's what the event log said:

Faulting application notepad2.exe, version 4.2.25.486, faulting module 
notepad2.exe, version 4.2.25.486, fault address 0x0009cdab

...Which is the identical thing it said when it crashed yesterday.  The 
0x0009cdab address.  I dont know if that is significant?

I will continue to use Notepad2 and wait until it crashes again, then I will 
try substituting both of your builds and see what occurs.  If worst comes to 
worst I will find a way to build it from source code and do that if possible.

You should simply use the debug build and try to reproduce the crash. Or use 
the WDK build I attached since it's the newest SVN build and something might 
have been fixed if it's Scintilla related.
Although, I'm pretty sure something else is interfering. For example I see 
these 3 modules which don't make any sense to be loaded:

dsp_enh.dll   D:\Audio\WinAMP\Plugins\DSP\dsp_enh.dll
Hook.dll      C:\Program Files\Direct Folders\Hook.dll
synrgyhk.dll  D:\Program Files\Synergy\bin\synrgyhk.dll

So try and see if removing those programs will stop the crashes for you.
