XMAX 12: Application crash while BackgroundSpellchecking is active

[MichaelLohr]

Dear Derek,

We are using XMAX 12 integrated in a C# application.

After updating from XMAX10 to XMAX12 we got some hard to find application crashes.

E.g. the application crashes if we call “Selection.Surround(name.LocalName);” on a element with a lots of content
but only if “BackgroundSpellchecking” is set to true and if we do the surround action a multiple time in a short time.

It seems that the spell checking tries to access the internal XMAX document which is in an invalid state?

Do you have any experiences with this kind of errors or has anything changed in the process of background spellchecking
from XMAX10 to XMAX12.

Best regards,
Michael

I would recommend upgrading to the current release (13) and trying to reproduce the issue there.

I've tried it with XMAX13 but the behaviour is the same and the application crashes also.
Attached you find two videos.
In the first one the background spell checking is deactivated and everything works fine. In the second one it ist activated and the application crashes on the first try.

Do you have any other ideas?

Best regards,
Michael

Please submit a case to XMetaL Support that includes files they can use to reproduce the issue.
They can then try to reproduce the problem and either recommend a solution or use that information to correct the issue if the problem is in XMAX or Writing Tools (the spell checking engine).
