TC7.5PB8: Interference context menu & ahk file with msgb

[Samuel]

I wrote this little and very meaningful ahk:

Code: Select all

Sleep,2000
msgbox,Hello World

After running it from TC I opened the contextmenu and waited for the messagebox. And boom -> TC crashes. Reproduceable every time! (I get more "EEDFADE" than "7E7BA71D" violations.)

Code: Select all

It does not work if I use an empty ini.
There should be this 2 entrys in it:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
Mainmenu=WCMD_DEU.mnu
UseRightButton=0

It does not happen if I use the contextmenu on a folder or on a txt file.
there are more (visible) entrys in a ini file compared to other files.

It does happen with the Czech, Dansk, German, Fançais, Spanish, Italian, ... Language.
It does not happen with the English Language.

[Balderstrom]

With as much as you use AHK, I'm sure you would of noticed this before. This doesn't happen at all in b7 right?

[Samuel]

Negative.
Can even reproduce it with TC 7.04.

[ghisler(Author)]

Unfortunately there is nothing I can do - the error occurs outside of TC.

Address 683BE5 contains the function call to TrackPopupMenu(), which is the last part of code within TC before the error occurs. Address 7E7BA71D and 0165BCB2 are not within Total Commander.

[Samuel]

The strange thing is:
It works without a Mainmenu string like "Mainmenu=WCMD_DEU.mnu".
So I thought it should be TC related.

BTW: Did anyone try to reproduce it?

[Balderstrom]

How are you calling it?
I've got a button that does:

Command: "c:\Program Files\Accessories\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" "C:\User\FOO\Application Data\AutoHotkey\FileCopyTest.ahk "
Parameters: %X%P%S %T%R

I changed the AHK to:
Sleep, 2000
MsgBox, "Hello World"

Also, MsgBox, Hello World
Also tried with removing the ButtonBar params above.
None caused any crash by attempting to open context menu or TC's MainMenu.

[Samuel]

a) create a "test.ahk" with the content:

Code: Select all

Sleep, 2000
MsgBox, "Hello World"

b) just hit return on the file
c) rightclick the file within the next 2 seconds and do not close the menu.

No crash here either.... (Win7 x64, TC7.5b8)

[Samuel]

No crash here either.... (Win Vista)

I could only confirm it on my PC. (Win XP SP3)
Strange. The last new installation is quite a long time ago. Perhaps this is the problem.

BTW: I forgot one important fact in the reproduce steps above: change language from Englisch to Eerman or any non English language.

So I almost think the case could be closed.
