1.) I did not find this bug in the bug tracker. 
Under which description or bug number is it listed?[/quote]

No, there is no one open.

I was going to, but I didn't create it. Lazy me.

The bug consists in what Sirias told me in the past in my rants about switching to 1.6. I didn't know it happened to 1.5.

Anyway, the fix recommended is to clear History, what I will not.

But, to clear the bug, it happens when you type a character that has too much references in a cross check to the full history. Why does a full check with the history, is where it is the bug, because, for example, in 1.1.6, didn't happen and probably the checks were too against the full history.

So, with that behavior, when you type a character, or, better said, an string, that matches lots of entries, there is a memory overflow and crashes.

For example, in 1.6b2 happens to me a lot. I tend, as is normal to every internet user, to write [b][u]www.[/u][/b]whatever.com. When you type www., comes the memory overflow (loads of matches for www., what is normal, by the way) and crash. No time for crashreport plugin to catch the error.

EDIT: [url=http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/bugs/viewbug.php?bugid=1358]bug reported[/url]

I marked it as k-meleon bug because I don't know at what extent may be the history plugin the only responsible of the crash.[/quote]
