Re: dead loop (not responsive) v5.0.6

How to make pspad to enter in dead loop (start to allocate more and more memory and be not responsive)

1. Open new Pspad
2. enter this text:
asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|asdf|
3. press Ctrl-H to open Replace and enter
Find: |
Replace: \n
Options: Regular expressions
Direction: Entire scope
Scope: Global
start replacing all

My version of Pspad: 5.0.6 (589) 8/4/2021

When you replace with \n you have to replace from the end of your text with backward direction. I know it isn't intuitive.

I will take a look why this stupid bug is back again
