Is this a known bug?
If I type the three following characters the ide.exe will crash every time:
c:/
This is Hollywood8, on windows 7, 32-bit.
I discovered this by accident when forgetting to put parenthesis before writing a file path. And the crash is immediately as I type them in the editor.
It actually seems that the editor will crash if typing any letter, followed by colon, followed by any character that is not a letter or a number.

Re: Windows IDE crashing when typing
Nice find! This bug was introduced in Hollywood 7.1 and it's quite critical because it could lead to the loss of code that hasn't been saved yet so I'm providing a hotfix for this one. You can grab it here: http://www.softwarefailure.de/tmp/idefix.zip
Thanks for reporting!
