Re: Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

Actually, turning off "Automatic PHP function suggestions" solved most crash problems. It still crashes occasionally the moment I type a comma. So I'll always save before typing a comma. I can't duplicate all the crash scenarios I posted before. Maybe things changed after upgrades. However, if I ...

Re: Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

I kind of gave up on this problem. I save my work constantly, and almost get a twitch when I have not saved for more than 5 minutes. Looking back, everyone who tried to replicate this crash problem did it on Win 7 (or Vista). This only happens on Win XP. I can replicate it on multiple Win XP ...

Time for Sprites

It's time that Easy Button started using image sprites. One http request is better than 50. Our pages could load faster, thus customers experience improved. During an experiment with this, I found that changing from 50 image files to just one sprite image saved over half a second in download and ...

Re: Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

If only I could have gotten the semicolon on the end of this line before it crashed...

If the code is good (proper syntax, and terminated with a semicolon) there's no crashing. But as you write new code, it's not valid as you're typing it.

Re: Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

I can even copy this code, and paste it into a new document (new php script) and get it to crash:

Re: Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

I came up with a tiny piece of code that repeatedly crashes WebBuilder. Open this file, go to line 13, put the cursor just in front of the curly bracket, and type the word "return". Then click somewhere else on the screen (as if you were going to copy a variable to paste after "return". It crashes ...

Why so many crashes / freezes / not respondings?

I've been waiting for someone else to post a topic about this, maybe it's just me. I've had the same crashing / freezing / not responding since the beginning of my upgrade to Webuilder 2010 (currently 10.2.0.121). Problem has occurred on 3 different Win XP computers. Scenario: Working on file with ...

Re: Crash recovery

Just make the auto-save into an "auto-save-backup" function do this: Suppose the file you are working on is thefile.php Auto-save-backup occasionally saves the file in a temp folder as thefile.php.tmp When Webuilder crashes, you just go grab the last auto-saved version from the temp folder, and move ...

Re: Support for 2-byte / Unicode characters

I hoped for more than 3 years that multi-byte unicode support would be added in the next version. Well, 2010 is out, and it chokes worse than ever on these unicode characters. It used to tolerate characters in a file (though hard to edit the characters themselves - and the search/replace function ...

Support for 2-byte / Unicode characters

It seems that WebBuilder "chokes" on 2-byte characters. I write pages using English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Beyond the CJK world, I think a few other languages use 2-byte characters. Right now, WebBuilder doesn't seem to understand that it's a 2-byte character ...
