Version 1618 & 1619 crashes when string-preview-window appears when mouse hovers over string if the string contains linebreaks.
1561, works fine. |

Which IDE are you using?
Which programming language are you using?
Is this happening when you are debugging code?
Do you have any other plugin's installed? I would not expect you to see a string preview window, I would only expect you to see a tooltip. |

Visual Studio 2005, SP1.
C.
Yes it's happening when I debug.
Other plugins: DoxyComment
And yes, you're correct, it's the tooltip (the one with a small magnifying glass to the left). |

How long are the strings you are seeing this problem with?
How many new lines do they contain?
What type is holding the string? I have just tried this with std::string and char * variables and no crashes.
I could be using the "wrong" type, I might need much bigger strings, or I might need to install DoxyComment. |

After some tests this is what I found.
Example code to illustrate crash:
Crashes:
static const char *QUERY =
"SELECT n1\\n"
"FROM n"
;
Does not cause crash:
static const char *QUERY =
"SELECT n1 "
"FROM n"
;
static char *QUERY =
"SELECT n1\\n"
"FROM n"
;
static const char QUERY[] =
"SELECT n1\\n"
"FROM n"
;

I have the same problem.
Tooltip with long or specific string kills silently VS 2005 SP1. Looks like stack overflow error. |

| It seems to me that this crash occurs only when Apply coloring to tooltips is on. Before it crashes tooltips is flashing. |

Kvasi what are you doing to trigger the crash?
I have added this string to a cpp file, added a break point after it, and when the program hits the break point I hover the mouse over the variable "QUERY" to display the tooltip with the value. No crash.
I have installed the latest version of DoxyComment, still no crash.
I have added all 4 of these strings, giving the variables different names, and hovered the mouse over all of them, several times. No crash.
Clearly this problem needs fixing, but it would help if I could reproduce it first.
Dans how easily can you reproduce this? |

pjemen I have just double checked, and I have VA set to apply colouring to everything, tooltips included.
It would make sense to me if this problem was tied to a specific string, or a specific size / length of string, or even to a specific project.
Can anyone reproduce this in a new default C++ console project? |
