Thanks, I was able to find 5.0.4 (thanks to the other reader who mentioned that "older versions" is a slightly difficult to spot).
I have 5.0.7 on one machine and 5.0.6 on another and have sent in crash logs from both. Yesterday and today PSPad is behaving a bit better, so I will not back down to 5.0.4 quite yet. I can tolerate a crash every 5 days or so. I can't tolerate multiple crashes in one day (as was happening on Wednesday). I will continue to send in crash reports until it becomes too disruptive. The symptom seems to point to something having to do with dragging files from Windows explorer into the open PSPad window. Opening from the "File->Open" menu is solid. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,75633,75661> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
