[8.0RC2 64bit] Crashing when you bring up the context menu

[sztihamer]

If you hold the right click on any file or folder until the bar fills up, after the context menu is showed up Total Commander crashes. I used the latest 8.0 release candidate! Tried it with a clean wincmd.ini file and it's the same thing. If Total Commander is maximized it will also crash.
Here's the error report that I got. Seems like some more OLE Library problems!

Interesting! After a restart everything went back to normal. I cannot reproduce the crash anymore no matter how hard I try! It is possible that it's not even a problem, and everything seems to be fine, just Windows messed up itself somehow. If nobody else can reproduce it everything is fine, though Christian should look up to see if there aren't any problems just in case. Good thing that I copied the crash log before I did restarted my computer!

No confirmed and not understand.
What do you mean with "the bar fills up" ?
If I use the right click on any file or folder
it shows the context menu without any problems.
Verified with TC 8 RC2 (x86 and x64) under Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

May be you have a faulty Shell extension installed.
Use the Sysinternals tool to disable your extensions until you find the one which crashes.

A black progress bar appears under the cursor if you hold the right click on a file or folder. After the bar is filled up the context menu shows up and application crashes. If you read everything I wrote you might also know that I couldn't reproduce the problem anymore. I don't think I have any faulty shell extensions I even double and triple checked. Posted the error log, because I knew there's something fishy here, and I didn't got another chance to make the crash happen again! Restarting Windows solved the problem.

Edit: Before the restart I checked to see if the 32bit version crashes too, but it was just fine!

Maybe you have ContextProgress=0 in your wincmd.ini and forgot about the little default progress bar

Or more likely "UseRightButton=0" to disable NC-style mouse selection mode.

Yes, that's my setting as I don't like NC-style selection.

I always try to read the whole story before replying,
but you were adding your own reply while I was already answering your first post.

Yes indeed, I did replied to my post, just to inform that I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. You told me that you don't understand what I'm talking about, and I made another post detailing it further what the bar is. I also mentioned that I used a clean wincmd.ini. Since you had UseRightButton=0 selected that's why you probably forgot about the progress bar below the cursor, and sounded confusing a little bit for you. It's ok...

Hey, moderators, please put this thread - which doesn't describe a bug - from the "TC8.0 bug reports (English)" to the "Total Commander (English)" forum. Or - better? - to the forum "TC Behaviour which will not be changed". Thanks.
