First time posting bug.  version 7.1.B2
Adding screen clip to Rich Text comments cause program crash.
Is this allowed? I thought I was able to do this before in comments field.
See Before and After files

Welcome Mark.

Can you:

1. Add categories at the top of the web page to give us some context?
2. Describe in detail the exact steps needed to reproduce the crash?

Thx, Dan

Hi Mark

the "Help-Menu" offers you the "Record Bug Report..." tool. That's a fine tool for documenting what you do and what the software does ...

Thanks for the advice.
I recorded the crash in Record Bug Report tool. This is attached.
Basically, open the After .TDL file, click down into the tasks until the 3rd task with the attached screen clip in the comments field. This will cause the application to crash.
The Before .TDL file contains the same tasks, without the attached screen clip included in the comments field. It should open all of the tasks without a crash.

Good Luck.

Hi Mark

No tasklist seems to be attached...

Please see the first message in this post for the sample tasklist files.

Now I understand how this process works.
I tried to recreate the problem with a task list from scratch and could not.
Then I pulled the attached files from the first message and tried to add images to the Before_sample file to recreate the after_sample file. I could not do this.
So the only clues I can give to the actual bug is there is something unique about the after_sample task file in the first message.
So, working through this process, I found that recreating what I thought was included in the comments is now working okay.

If you can gain information from the attached after_sample task file, it still will crash the ToDoList application.

Regards,
Mark

Many thx Mark. Somehow I misinterpreted the purpose of the originally attached tasklists.

I can reproduce this now and will fix it for the next update of 7.1.

Interestingly 7.0.13 does not crash for me with this tasklist. Perhaps you could try that out too?

Dan,
You are correct. I reloaded 7.0.13 version and the problem does not occur for me either.
I reread some of the notes to report a bug and I missed this step. Sorry about that.
Good to know that it occurs for you and you can resolve this issue.

Regards,
Mark
