I have been experiencing this intermittently but fairly frequently.
I will want to delete a set of lines, so I click the mouse on the left border of the first line (ie, where home would take you), drag down until I've selected the lines I want to delete, release the mouse button, and press the delete key. The PB window gets a deathly white fuzziness and a MS Windows error message box appears. PDF doc with prt screen image of message is attached.
If I start the mouse drag a bit right of the left boundary, do the drag, etc, I have not experienced this behavior. Until tonight, I had not experienced it if I used the backspace key to delete a line instead of the delete key, but tonight I did have the failure while trying to use the backspace key.
I have booted into safe mode to rule out any other application interaction, and was able to recreate the behavior.
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone else recreate it? As I said, I can go an hour without seeing it but then for 10 times in a row I can't use the delete key in this manner.
I can delete any other selected text with no difficulties, but along the left edge, to delete complete lines, it is iffy. I'm having to save about every 5 changes so I don't lose a bunch of stuff.
I would appreciate it if someone could reproduce the behavior so I'd know it wasn't something in my environment. Or if no one can reproduce it, I can start hunting down the culprit.
