General Mala crashes
« on: September 29, 2008, 10:42:10 am »
I've been finding Mala 1.04 a bit unreliable lately, with a lot of crashes occuring when I navigate mentions very quickly, or I use the 'switch orientation' function.

I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with my layout or not, but the problem is intermittent (works most of the time, but fails enough to be annoying).

Since I realize this isn't enough to go on, is there some kind of debugging I can switch on to help diagnose what exactly is happening when mala crashes (and post it here)?

Under the OPTION>HELP section there is a switch at the bottom right (I believe) to enable a debug LOG.  Enable it,  when it crashes,  shoot over the resulting .txt file (edit it down if it takes a while to crash).

My recent thoughts is (at best guess) is that it is probably video related.

Do you have videos in your layout?

It seems to me recently that if you swicth layouts/or rotate before the video loads it can crash.

If that is it I am working on that now
