Al.,

[i][b]I'm sorry I don't have detailed steps to crash K-M but beta 4 is definately unstable here, I've never had so many crashes (counting disappearing to them) in so little time with K-M. :-/ BTW: The DLL was comctl32.dll.[/b][/i]

[i]That sounds like one of the "random" crash bugs which has been around since v0.8.x (and maybe even before then), [/i]

Well, please note that I never had any stability problems or random crashes with K-M before beta 4 and the build from Dec. 7.

[i]mainly because comctl32.dll was mentioned a while back by a couple of others.[/i]

The disappearing part, which is the main problem, doesn't mention any DLL of course. I doubt it has to do with comctl32.dll. BTW: I had crashes in k-meleon.exe, too.

I stopped counting the disappearing part at 40 times. That's *way* too much for only a few days of usage (and I did a completely clean install!). Not even 0.8.0 was so bad, although it crashed quite often (hence the 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 releases that fixed these problems).

[i]As the crashes are random, then it's not easy to reproduce the steps and thusly file a bug report with those steps included.[/i]

Exactly, that's why I'm reporting them here in hope that s.o. might shed some additional light into it.

The interesting part is the fact that I don't have any crashes if I use the files from Dec. 1/2 anymore. Again: If the changes were in CVS I could track the problem down (it's no problem for me to build K-M, otherwise I wouldn't have nailed down bug 715). But alas they aren't.

[i]btw as an aside to this, have you tried disabling the layers plugin and just go with the regular windows for a while to see if the problems keep occurring.[/i]

If you read my first post above you'll notice that I'm not using layers. In fact I never use them (I switch them only on to help others reproduce their problems).

Eyes-Only,

[i]I know this is going to sound totally dumb and off-the-wall ra (and thus probably get deleted like some of my other posts) but have you just tried uninstalling that one and downloading a fresh one and installing that instead?[/i]

No, I never had to. But I'll give it a try, just in case, although I'm quite sure that is a change in K-M that's causing the problems (think of the Dec. 1/2 vs. Dec. 7 problems I reported).[/quote]
