+[8.50b2] "Separate Search Process" crashs with TC

[ferhat]

My Environment:
Win8 64Bit
Tested with TCMD 32 and 64 Bit.
TCMD 32Bit works fine and does not crash.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start TCMD 64Bit
2) Open "Search in separate process"
3) Perform a search to fill the "search results" box below.
4) click on "feed to listbox"

Observed behavior:
The new "search process" / "search window" crashs!


Thanks,
Ferhat

Win7+TC 8.50b2x64: no crash.

Maybe something Win8-related.

Confirmed for Window 8.1 x64 Preview
Works fine with Windows 7 x64

I can indeed reproduce it on Windows 8 only. It's the search process which crashes. I will test it in the debugger.

Unfortunately I can no longer reproduce this error on Windows 8. Are you still able to reproduce it with beta 3? If yes, can you post the crash message, please?

@ghisler

I have installed Beta 3 right now and tested it again.
I have done exactly the same steps described above.

After clicking on "Feed to listbox" the process crashes again. I am getting the typical windows crash dialog: "Total Commander has stopped working"

I am missing here the typical TC crash dialog with stack trace information. This looks like an unhandled exception which kills the process.

Here is some info from my windows eventlog:

Faulting application name: TOTALCMD64.EXE, version: 8.5.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000

Hmm, address 7fa00000008 isn't in my code - difficult to say what that is without a stack trace.

Can you try this please: When you see the Windows crash dialog, don't close it. Instead open a second copy of Total Commander and go to the TEMP directory:
cd %TEMP%

There, look for a file with extension .mdmp or .dmp. It may be inside a ZIP or CAB file with the current date and time, ready to be sent to Microsoft Winqual. If you find this file copy it elsewhere because it will be deleted when you confirm the crash dialog.

Then please send this file to support at ghisler dot com, I can analyze it with windbg. It will (hopefully) contain a meaningful crash dump...

[ferhat]

I will check it in the afternoon. If its not there I will try to create a full memory dump manually.

[ghisler(Author)]

It's no longer necessary, I found it! You need to click with the mouse (or a finger on the touchscreen). There is no crash when I use the hotkey...

[ferhat]

Ahh great!

[ghisler(Author)]

Please, can you check whether you still get this crash? Should be fixed for more than a month now...

[ferhat]

It's fixed in Beta6

Thanks!
