Title: Opie-write keeps crashing!!
Post by: jubjub on September 10, 2004, 01:01:02 pm

Hi,

I have had a problem with Opie-Write crashing after one page of text. Opie-write starts normally, but as soon as the first page of text fills up (when you would expect a scrollbar to appear), it freezes. If I try to open a document which is longer than one page it also freezes.

The weird thing is that I have experienced the same problem with several different ROMs. I have tried flashing with OpenZaurus 3.3.5, 3.3.6-pre1 and now the Hantges ROM (3.3.6-pre1 with Opie 1.1.3). It makes no difference what version of Opie or Opie-write I am using, all give the same problem.

My Zaurus is a 5000D with 16 Mb flash ROM and a 0 Mb storage/32 Mb RAM zImage. I have a 64 Mb CF card and a 256 Mb SD card. Most of my applications are on the SD card, which is where Opie-write is installed.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a solution or workaround?

Thanks,

Michael

Simple solution, don't use opie-write.  Anything over a page of text crashes it.

Try a recent build. IIRC this bug has been fixed in cvs since weeks.
