I have more than 44,000 people in my main file. A problem occurs with just one of those people.
When I open the file, immediately go to that person and click on the notes button in the main window, PAWriter crashes.
If, instead, I first click on the person button and then click on the notes button within that person's window, no problem occurs from then on in that session.
Indeed, if I first click on the person button for any person, cancel or enter, and then later go to the problem person and click on the notes button in the main window, no problem occurs from then on in that session.
So far I have not been able to find the cause of this rare problem. I know the specific line of code where the crash occurs, but it makes no sense that it should crash there and there is no alternative code that avoids the crash.
But the work-around noted above avoids the problem for now, should it ever occur in another file.
(Note: This problem does not occur in the OS 9 version of PAWriter, making it all the more mysterious.)
