Add Clipping Crash

Hi Graham, when you say 'Add Clipping' did you mean you already highlighted some text from a resource and then clicked the link? If this is the case please be specific with what resource and what was highlighted. From what it looks like you cannot just use Add Clipping from a new Clippings Document without open resources

Yea something of that sort. The idea with this (though I like your logic) is that you highlight the text you need and then add that clipping. I'm interested in your repro steps, if you could please specify which resources you were viewing and how you managed to use the 'Add Clipping' link, was it just enabled, or did you highlight something particular?

According to the devs, there was a recent bug where some sympathetic highlighting or search hit highlighting was misinterpreted as a selection the user made and would allow clicking the Add Clipping, is this what happened? And yes it should not crash, but to keep us safe we made sure each problematic situation did crash so in the end we can have an overall more stable program. As you may be thinking, it should allow add clippings even from a search hit, so this kind of situation helps us discover what's right about our bug fixes.

I can confirm:

Description

The program locks, then crashes.

The selected text would be added to the clipping.

Comments

I have reproduced this twice. The program does not crash if I right click the text and add it to the clipping from the rt. click menu.
