Re: TN5250 Crash After Paste (Vista)

Hi Scott,

I am using 0.17.4 which should be the most recent.  I've pasted below 
the little bit of info that Vista provided when the app crashed.  I am 
not sure if this ever happened to me on XP to tell you how to reproduce 
it there.  If it did happen, it had to be infrequent enough that I never 
thought of it as a bug or anything.

I am reproduce it pretty much all the time when I copy out of Outlook or 
some other Windows program and then paste in to TN5250.

Some very basic troubleshooting seems to indicate that the pasting 
somehow 'poisons' TN5250.  What I mean by that is, if I paste to the 
command line, all is well.  I can press enter, page up, down, and so on 
with no issues.

But, as soon as I call a program, enter DFU/SEU, etc...crash.  And that 
is without pasting anything in the actual program or DFU session.  Once 
I paste one time in any way, the next time I call a program or 
something, it crashes.  Now, if I call the program and then paste, it 
dies as well.

Not sure how much of that helps.  If I can somehow better debug things 
here, let me know.

Thanks again,
Brian
