Native spelling implementation crashed

[xsaero00]

One of our users received following error.

Code: Select all

The application detected an error that is not automatically handled. It is possible that this error is not critical and the application may continue to work normally but our recommendation is to report the error and restart the application. If the application has become unstable and cannot be closed normally, you can use the Force Quit button from this dialog. Be aware that by doing this you will lose all unsaved changes in the opened documents.



Here are the error details:



[ main ]  -  The native spelling implementation has crashed in the last editing session.

Now using the Java spelling implementation.

You can re-enable the native spell checker by removing the file:

U:\Users\user.name\AppData\Roaming\com.oxygenxml.author\HunspellCrashGuardSa.txt

and then restarting the program.



Please report this problem to the product support team. Thank you!

Hello,

Were there multiple instances of Oxygen running when this happened?
If Oxygen didn't crash, then there's nothing to worry about.

This is just a failsafe mechanism that prevents Oxygen from crashing repeatedly in case the Hunspell spell checker has trouble initializing. This failsafe can be triggered accidentally if Oxygen is quit forcefully(end task, your computer is restarted or loses power) or if multiple instances of Oxygen are accidentally started.

Just make sure you delete the file mentioned in the error:

Code: Select all

U:\Users\user.name\AppData\Roaming\com.oxygenxml.author\HunspellCrashGuardSa.txt

otherwise the native spell-checker(Hunspell) will remain disabled.

Afterwards restart Oxygen and verify the spell-checker state in Options > Preferences, Editor > Spell Check.
The Spell checking engine option should be set to Hunspell(is set by default).

Let us know if you encounter further issues.

Regards,
Adrian
