It seems that font is the problem!
Deleting the Data folder of my project etc is not really the solution.
Well, it might be for one project, but the original problem came up when
editing/viewing external file (not part of the project). Numerous times
you have the need to view/copy/paste parts of external header files or
code sampes into your project and the easiest way was to load them into
IDE and do what was needed. Now it becomes dangerous to do such action
'cause I don't know which font is used in that file and loading it into
IDE might cause compete crash and project data loss... It's fustrating,
isn't it?!
Is there the way at least to prevent loading of such dangerous files or
anything to do to avoid IDE crash?
Rgds,
-DR
BTW, IDE doesn't crash if I delete all the text and then try to close
the window. Is it possible to 'save the situation' somehow when I notice
a kind of font different than courier to prevent IDE crash (except deeting
all the text from loaded file of course)?
