I just uncovered a bug in the latest release of BBEdit (9.6.2) that has stopped my development cold. Unfortunately, I'm trying to get an application completed so I can fly from Denver to New Orleans in the morning for a major website install .
I was doing doing a fairly simple global text search on a very large directory that contains several thousand files. I do this quite frequently and typically without complication. Normally I would do the find/replace, saving the changes immediately, with the application only advising me of the the changes that were made. In this particular instance, my search was not unique enough that I could be absolutely certain I would only change what I anticipated changing. So I modified my parameters to have BBEdit make the changes, but leave the files open and unsaved. I know my search was at least unique enough that I should only end up with a couple dozen files open at most. Unfortunately, I did not get the results I expected. BBEdit began to open every single file in the master directory (several thousand), marking the pages as changed and leaving them open. There is absolutely no reason that any of these files should have been changed with the submitted query... but they WERE. After about 30 minutes (at which time new files were being loaded rather slowly due to memory constraints), I finally force-quit BBEdit. But, to my dismay (and as I anticipated), once BBEdit was relaunched, it went into perpetual "beach-ball mode", while preparing to reload the thousands of files that were loaded previously. Does anybody have a clue how to kill this bug from Hell? I tried calling the support number but it was already too late to catch them today. If I have to wait until tomorrow to get a reply, I'll be required to cancel my flight.
