Selecting a folder causes KiTTY to crash (0.64.0.4)

codeman38 - Fri 14/08/2015 19:24:43 CEST +0200

When running KiTTY with configuration loaded from the registry, selecting a folder from the dropdown list-- either when saving or selecting a session-- causes the application to crash.

Interestingly, I cannot reproduce this when launching KiTTY from WinDbg, but I can reproduce it if I launch the app outside of the debugger and then attach it after initialization.

Here's the trace from the debugger, if this is of any help:

I had this exact same problem. Even clicking the dropdown arrow and choosing the same folder I was already in would cause KiTTY to crash. Whether I started KiTTY without any parameters, or used the -folder parameter to start in a folder, the only way I could switch folders was to click the "Clear" button and get a list of everything. Then a couple of days ago, I started KiTTY inside one of my folders, and clicked the "Up folder" button, and ever since then, KiTTY hasn't crashed, and I can move all around my folders again!

I just downloaded version 0.65.0.1, and unfortunately, the problem is back. Clicking the "Up folder" button now doesn't do anything, except highlight the first server entry of the current folder that is being displayed.

Can you test this beta version: http://www.9bis.net/kitty/data/beta/kitty.exe ?
and report me, please ?

Seems to be fixed. Thanks Cyd!

One question I have though is what is the "Up folder" button supposed to do? Right now, all it seems to do for me is highlight the top entry in the current folder I am in.

Up folder button is used to rearrange folders list order.
