#1 crash while closing tabs - messed up text file

Posted by: matosimi | Date: 2025-06-30 18:48 | IP: IP Logged

Hey,

I'm experiencing this issue for a long time. Currently running 5.5.1 (825).
I'm getting access violation error when I'm closing tabs, like when I have 8+ tabs opened and closing them 1 by 1.
When this happens, usually one source file gets corrupted. Some "y" character with 2 dots above 0x79 appears at the beginning of a single line followed by 0x00.
This messes up my code parser which ignores the rest of the line after 0x00 which results in skipped instruction. When I put single line comment character prior the "y", the characters after 0x00 are not displayed in comment color (so apparently the 0x00 messes up something highlighter as well).

Is this a known issue?

It does not happen very often, but when it does it is causing unexpected code behavior without immediate reason.
