CTRL-D is the shortcut to insert a comment. Does the crash happen if you 
are in a certain part of the document when you press CTRL-D? Altough 
your backtrace is quite good, I would like to see an example file which 
can be used to reproduce the bug.

actually, I first notice it while pressing CTRL-D
but it seems to happen after saving as well, and also while typing....

I edit .rb/.rxml/.rhtml files with Quanta, mostly.

I would really appreciate to have an example file and a way to 
reproduce. For some reason a pointer becomes null, which should not 
happen, but I am unable to trigger the bug myself.

Created attachment 14820 [details]
file that I suspect make quanta crash

i just deleted the three "ok" lines, and I saved.

it crashed

i'm not totally sure that what cause it, but its the last thing I remember
having done.

SVN commit 514630 by amantia:

This should finnally fix a grave crash bug in Quanta, which appeared due to a node tree corruption.The patch does other things as well:
- stop background detailed parsing if the text was changed (this caused the corruption)
- parse only once after the user stopped typing, for real. The intention was there since several versions but DID NOT work! Now this should really make typing faster.

I will mark all related bugs as fixed. Reporters, in case you still see the crash or slow typing with Quanta 3.5.2 (or a recent  - after this commit - snapshot/svn version), reopen the report or open a new one.

Strange that this still happens. Can you give a testcase for Quanta 
3.5.2?

i'd say its hard to reproduce, the file is a big HTML file with few <%= %> tags and the base HTML has been created with dreamweaver, so its all messy.

just play by fixing the indent of an ugly HTML file,... it should make Quanta crash pretty easily.

Quanta did not crash in a long time, but it just did.

running latest from KDE 3.5.2

I was replacing an h2 by an h1 in a .rhtml file.

here is the backtrace. I hope it can be helpful.

quanta crash again while editing HTML files.
I think it happens more often when I replace a selection.
I really often select some text and type to replace it. not just type something.
I think it happens in this situation.

let me submit you another Back Trace ;)

by the way, apart a few bugs, Quanta is an outstanding application. I use it all the time, its excellent.
