Help / Re: Code editor window closing after saving files (related to very large projects)
« Last post by Pecan on April 19, 2026, 08:19:18 pm »I have run CB 20.05 in vmware with a memory size of 4gig and was unable to get the file closes on save that Stratelier gets.
I did experience the memory thrashing during a file save when memory usage reached 91%.
I ran CB under the debugger and chased high memory usage happening when scintilla double buffered the file. There was sometimes a near 10 second pause of the whole system.
Most likely memory thrashing.
I was unable to determine how files were closed when they were saved ok.
If they were not saved ok, we should have seen the message from this function:
I can only guess that this is some kind of physical memory error or that the stack got corrupted and the code returned to the wrong place.
I can find no code that saves the files ok and then closes them.
