Always crashes on right click (in empty area)

[kandurak]

Hi,

From last many builds(nightly builds), whenever I rightclick in the empty area in the rightside pane(list view), E++ always crashes on my desktop machine. I can't reproduce it on other machine.

I have attached the dmp file.

Can someone let me know what the issue is?

However, when i select a file/folder in the listview and then rightclick, it is normal.

Thanks.

I don't have any debugging information about the nightly builds, so I can't use the dumps from them. I'll PM you a build which I do have debugging information on.

Which O/S are you using? I get that problem on XP 32bit.
I discussed it here:

Try the demo exe out on the last post. If it works ok, then it might be the same problem I had.

Hi,

I have WinXP SP3, 32 bit. I tried the demo exe by David and it crashes as well.

I checked even today's nightly build. Same issue.

I am not able to use the E++ because of this (I need context menu quite often for my work).

Bit sad that I can't use the application that i liked after experimenting with several similar applications.

This problem should be fixed in the nightly build.

Hi David,

I still have no luck. Any help?

Upload a crash dump from 1.3b, and I'll see if I can get some information from it.

Uploaded the dmp file from 1.3beta build.

Just to inform the details

Windows XP SP3 - Win 32.

The crash seems to be happening in igfxpph.dll, which appears to be part of the Intel graphics package. Searching online, I've come across a few mentions of crashes associated with the context menu handler that is installed. I haven't personally used it, but you can give something like ShellExView a try. Disable the Intel graphics context menu entry and see if that fixes the issue.

More broadly, because E++ now displays context menu extensions on the background menu directly, it's very sensitive to any bugs within them. That is, a bug within one of the context menu handlers can crash the entire program (which I'm fairly sure is what's happening here).

Thanks. After disabling the intel graphics menu, right click is back ! hurray

This leaves me now with a empty area in "New" section of right click context menu.

Cheers.
