Thanks, I could reprouce it. It's releated to cursor positioning, something which wasn't present in TC 6.56 or older...

No, absolutely not.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Alextp,
If the currently opened file is the one that was deleted then again - not.

By the time Lister finds out that the file is not there (after scrolling up) the data most likely isn't in memory anymore, hence it can't be retrieved for viewing - remember we are talking about big files - small files wil stay viewable in lister even if they are deleted (but you can not save a small file if it is deleted!)

It is - but I don't think to the liking of Hacker ?

Lister doesn't close itself when it cannot read a file. It may be a temporary network outage, or something else which can be fixed...

[TC7 rc3] Deleting the file that is currently viewed in lister still causes an access violation.
This seems to NOT happen while viewing the beginning of the file.

To reproduce:
- open a large file in internal lister (in my case a log-file in text format, size 2.5 MB)
- turn cursor on
- scroll down to about the middle of the file (PageDown-key or use scrollbar with mouse)
- delete the viewed file
- scroll down a few more pages in lister, until TC pops up the dialog "File not found!" with the viewed filename
- confirm the popup
=> the access violation occurs:
Screenshot 1

If cursor is not turned on (F6) it is a bit different:
- first no access violation occurs, instead the screen keeps empty, the scrollbar keeps in its old place (movable, but jumps back to its position after releasing the left mouse button).
- clicking into the empty text-window with left mouse button produces a similar access violation (same violation address, other read address, probably because of other file position)
Screenshot 2

Edit: Occurs under W2k SP4 & XP SP2.

No crash here

:) Hello !

• I cannot confirm here under Win XP-Pro SP1

• I followed your steps scrupulously, all is OK till I confirm the error message,
but then Lister displays an empty page - that seems normal- and TC does not crash at all.

• Tested with a 2.6 MiB text file (I'd to make it, because I'd not any so big)

I can confirm it under Win XP SP2 with TC7rc3

Try the following:

1. make a copy of the current TC history.txt file (300435 bytes)
2. open the file in Lister with cursor turned on
3. scroll down to 50%
4. delete history.txt
5. scroll further down using the PgDn key
6. when the "File not found" error box pops up klick the OK key

7. This box pops up

Access violation at address 005B434D. Read of address 00C97DE3.
Please report this error to the Author,
with a description of what you were doing when this error occured!
Continue execution?

Ja Nej

The read of adress may vary, but the violation seems to happen at the same address every time.

This is what I get if I use a 6.3Mb text file - but here it doesn't matter whether the cursor is on or off.
