https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227370 Bug ID: 227370 Summary: editors/joe : crash on syntax highlignting Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: my-roaming-data@outlook.com CC: juergen.gotteswinter@googlemail.com CC: juergen.gotteswinter@googlemail.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(juergen.gotteswinter@googlemail.c om) Since update 4.5.1 Joe is crashing repeatedly on syntax control Joe is nearly unusable, must downgrade to the previous version It seems that the bug is known. In the following link it seems that next version joe 4.6 fixes crash on syn= tax highlighting, and we can suppose this the bug I encounter https://joe-editor.sourceforge.io/NEWS.html I encounter this bug on ALL MY FREEBSD WORKSTATION, in AMD64 and i386 I have 5 FreeBSD installations.. For testing, just open a big shell script (this doesn't happen on rarely on very small scripts), and crashes mainly occur when syntax control must pass= on a the character '"' As a workaround, whenever I know to have to type a '"', I am forced to first comment a line with a "#", I enter my commands including the '"', and when finished I uncomment the line. Same thing if I want to modify my script, and if I forget.... Yes... bul..shit=20 So in my opninion, it could be wise to downgrade the port to the previous version, and to wait for the version 4.6. The version 4.5.1 is really not a "decent" version for production. This is a MAJOR bug which renders the editor nearly unusable. The bug has not be reported yet because people use probably other editors, = but personally JOE is my main editor to write scripts in shell. EMACS is too "heavy" for me. As an alternative, you could also try to import the coming version if possi= ble and after testing --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
