Hmmmm. I don't see this.

It is happening for me pretty consistently, 2 ways to reproduce.

Existing document

1. open existing document
2. save as another
3. crash (document ends up empty)

Recent document

1. open recent file from editor (select file from drop down at top)
2. crash on edit

I am working on the 2nd one. I wanted to get rid of that drop down select box for the recent files. I was thinking some sort of list next to the other areas. That drop down select box is quirky. Though it may remain if I can fix it as it is now.

Yep. Reproduced it. Was doing it wrong. Sorry.

No worries it has a few particular paths to trigger. I can open a file, even a recent file by selecting it in the file navigator. But not if I select it from the drop down recent files list. The crash only happens when you attempt to modify the recently opened document. So seems opening the file is fine, but something else is going wrong causing the crash. Only when the document is opened via selecting a recent file.

The saving as a file breaks if you open an existing document. You can save a new document just fine.

Other related operations seem fine, its just those two scenarios it seems to consistently crash.

Seems to be a deficiency in elm_code per elm code task #T6608
