ELAN freezes when editing the same annotation twice in a row

Hello Tom,

This sounds like one of those mysterious bugs which are difficult to reproduce. First of all the usage time after which this problem occurs varies quite a bit (probably it is not so much the time that plays a role but the memory consumption while annotating).
And then I can’t imagine why or how editing the same annotation twice in a row could cause a crash. It almost sounds like a crash won’t occur as long as you refrain from editing the same annotation twice, but instead would always edit another annotation before editing the same one again. That would be curious.

I don’t know which file you tried to share, but in case you could send the elan0.log (elan1.log etc.) file(s) to me (han.sloetjes AT mpi.nl) that might be useful. Located in ELAN’s data folder.

Best,
Han
