Toad hangs when selecting text in editor

Toad for Oracle
1

toad hangs in certain situations when selecting text either with the keyboard or the mouse. In the example below if I move the cursor immediate after the "$" character and then hold down shift and either drag left with the mouse or use the left arrow key to select the contents of the string then toad will hang.

select *
from dual
where regexp_like(dummy,'((^|-)[^-]*){5}$')

toad 17.1 x64
windows 10 Education x64

FYI, I cannot reproduce this effect... I'm using 64=bit Toad for Oracle
v. 17.1.717.3711

Any else can reproduce this issue?

See the steps in this thread for enabling freeze detection and sharing the call stack that is generated. Post the call stack you receive here or email it to me at michael.staszewski@quest.com.

Also, zip and email your User Files folder. You may omit Connections*.xml from it. Its location is a subfolder of Toad's application data directory which is shown in Options.

I have received them, but was tied up looking at something else and forgot to return to you. I will look at it starting now.

Thanks,

The problem is with the Brace highlighting option. You can set its value to anything other than Innermost pair in scope as a workaround. I have this issue logged to be fixed for the next release.

This will be fixed in the 2024R2 release. The fix will be available in next week's beta.

Thanks,
Michael
