RC4 MAC Slick-C Error Stack
« on: October 04, 2016, 03:25:27 PM »
I run RC4 on MAC and have my own language tagging extension. It seems that I get a slick-c stack sometimes when I change focus from another program back into SE with that language file being the current file. Here is a picture of the stack and the stack trace from the stack.log file. Tagging is working for my simple tagging extension for this language. Any suggestions as to what to look for?

This time I got an error when the preview window was showing and I saved one of my language files. I had loaded the hot fix, exited SE and saved its configuration, restarted SE, modified my language file and saved it to get this stack.

It seems suspicious that you got the exact same Slick-C stack.  Verify that the hot fix was actually loaded.  Help > Product Updates > List Installed Fixes.

Also, do you really want to use the Buffer Tabs toolbar, or was that toolbar something that you migrated from an earlier release?  The Document Tabs makes Buffer Tabs obsolete for most users.

Hot fixes show the hot fix loaded.

I can't figure out what you mean by "Buffer Tabs" and "Document Tabs". When I look at Options->Appearance->ToolWindows or Toolbars neither of those are listed. I did just port my old configuration over.

Toolbars shows Mac Standard as being the only visible one.
ToolWindows shows several visible but none of them are marked Document Tabs or Buffer Tabs.

I should have called them "File Tabs".  View > Tool Windows > File Tabs.  It used to be called buffer tabs.  I can tell from your Slick-C stack that you have it active.

The Document Tabs are built into the multiple document interface.  If you don't see them, then try Window > Zoom Toggle, and they should turn up above the editor window.

Hmmm. I'll try the new document tabs. It looks to me like a dropdown arrow on the top right of the document window. Does that sound right?

I like the File Tabs because they are always visible and at a glance I can see what files I have open. One click and I'm in my new file (as long as I don't have too many files open).

Document tabs as I understand it are a few clicks (one to bring up the drop down then another to select which file). An advantage would be its easier to see all the files that are open than with File Tabs if I have more open than fit on the screen.

I'll give this a try for a day or two and see how it goes and if I get any more slick-C stacks.

You probably have the "Multiple files shared window" setting turned on (Tools > Options > Editing > Editor Windows > Files per window).  If you change that to "One file per window" the Document tabs will be much more useful.  Refer to the following to see what they are supposed to look like (in a default configuration):
