Re: TN5250 Crash After Paste (Vista)

[Scott Klement <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,

Are you using the current version of TN5250?  (The one we released a 
month or so ago?)

I know I fixed some similar issues in that release.

I know of an outstanding bug in the copy to clipboard (if you select 
text outside the normal 80x24 or 132x27 screen, it'll try to copy the 
text, and crash) but I don't know of any outstanding issues with paste...

I'm running XP, and don't currently have access to a Vista box.  If 
updating to the current version doesn't help, can you tell me how to 
reproduce the problem on XP?  (Or something I can try to reproduce the 
problem?)  Without being able to reproduce it, I don't even know how to 
begin to debug it...
