BUG: 4.1B1: CRASH during preview-render of LARGE Search Results

JimTowler

Steps to repeat:

1. Search entire Library for "the" (some 20 M hits in 12 seconds)
2. Select Print/Export (Print/Export Panel show partial preview correctly)
3. Uncheck "Visible Results Only"
4. Logos4 crashes after 10-15 seconds per attached log 3173.Logos4Crash.txt

Expected Result: One of:

• Complete after a VERY LONG time, OR
• Limit preview after some x of 10s, 100s or 1000s of pages, OR
• Limit preview after some byte-size of the generated preview, OR
• UI prompt asking what to do, or some kind of warning, OR
• Some other nice way out of the mess.

Unexpected Result: The Logos4 application crashes.

( In my view, the application should never crash as a result of anything we can ask using the built-in menus. Do the requested thing or give an error. Never crash. )

For the record, of course an export of all "the" is a silly thing to actually want. This is Beta Testing after all!

Report submitted, thanks.

Update:  The error is caused by exporting rich text from a specific resource (we don't know which one) in which there is a hit for 'the'. It's not specifically due to the search you're running, and should be able to be reproduced by copying that text to the clipboard, etc. (if we knew what the resource was).

We can't reproduce it here, but development has committed a change that should fix the problem. When Beta 2 is released, please let us know whether or not the same search crashes the app.
