uh, I just got a StackOverflowException after the app idled for a while. Sounds like it relates to this post. Below is the call stack of the error

Painetraine,

Does it only happen when the control has focus or doesn't have focus? Also, what version of VS.NET do you have? Did this happen at any time before the last several releases? The odd thing is that I don't think we changed anything in a while that would cause this.

When it happened, I was running IE and the app with the editor was completely hidden. Kinda confused me since I got the exception block while I was reading something in IE.

I am using VS2003, .NET 1.1. I have seen it happen on WinXP and Win2000 boxes.

I have never gotten the error while using the app that has the control, it only seems to happen when I leave the machine and come back after some time or in this case was working in another app.

I have only noticed it happening since I switched to the 65 release. Before that, I cannot remember ever getting the problem.

Hope this helps.

I ran the sample application for several hours on both a .NET 1.0 box and a .NET 1.1 box and couldn't get this exception to occur.

After examining the code, I noticed that in a certain situation, the caret timer can be going even when the control doesn't have focus, which shouldn't happen. The next maintenance release will try to correct that. Once the next release comes out (probably this weekend), please post back after testing with it to see if that still happens since we're unable to dupe it here.

I have run the small test from earlier in this thread for a little under 24 hours without any issue. It appears that the recent change has fixed the problem.

Thanks.
