Crash when setting font family to invalid font when line numbers are shown

SyntaxEditor for WPF Forum

Hi Actipro

When I set the IHighlightingStyle.FontFamilyName to an invalid value (e.g. "Cooper Black"), I get an unhandled exception in TextLineNumberMarginBase.CheckForAssetCacheUpdates:

 

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in WindowsBase.dll

Additional information: '' is not a valid value for property 'FontFamily'.

 

This crash only happens when Line Numbers are visible. If Line Numbers are not visible and we set this invalid FontFamily value, the editor is able to display a backup/default font.

Hi Xinen,

Thanks for reporting this.  We've fixed it for the next maintenance release.

Hi, thanks for your fix. It does not crash now but there is an unexpected behavior -

Steps to reproduce

1. Set PlainText and LineNumbers font to Comic Sans - both PlainText and LineNumbers font is changed to Comic Sans

2. Set PlainText and LineNumbers font to Fixedsys - PlainText gets set to a default font (e.g. Consolas) but LineNumbers's font remains as Comic Sans.

I would expect LineNumbers to also get updated to the default font Consolas.

Hi Xinen,

Thanks, we've updated that scenario to revert back to using the SyntaxEditor.LineNumberMarginFontFamily value.  This will be in the next build.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.5) was released 4 days ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
