When I paste a string with 1000 characters in one line into an editor, TOAD crashes.
Can you reproduce this?
Thanks, Peter
No, but what bitness is your Toad and does it matter the content of the string? I just tried 1000 chars, but nothing meaningful. Also, include the call stack if an error report was generated.

64 bit, and the string was 1000 times “x”:
SELECT LPAD(‘x’,1000,‘x’) FROM dual;
I don’t have a call stack, windows tells me that TOAD has stopped working and tries to find a “solution”.

For what it’s worth, I pasted that string 485 times into the Editor in 64-bit 12.12.0.7 and .8 before Toad started letting me know that it doesn’t appreciate unreadably long lines by slowing down dramatically.
I’m running on Windows 7 with 16GB of RAM if that matters.
But no crashes of any kind…

Hmmmm…my email shows up here blank, so here’s the meager original content:

Boom! I get it Peter with that string, but interestingly enough not with my original test string of ‘0123456789’ (repeated for 1000 chars). Looking.

Found it, but it’s outside of my hands. I’ll log. In the meantime disable the Code Analysis rule checks as you type option if you hit this enough to be a concern.

This was due to an overflow in a bit of old legacy parser code which we’ll get rid of in some near future. My fix now allows strings up to 1 MB (formerly 1000 characters). It should normally be part of some beta next week.
