I recieved an error when attempting save a file (see attached).
The error asked if I wanted to close or debug. I chose debug. The file then closed. I tried to open the file then got another error message:

hmmm... I can't seem to attach these due to size:

I am assuming this as something to do with my "areas" and or copy/pasting areas.

Apparently there are lines and positions. How do I find what line I am on and/or the position?

Something can be recovered*, but I can't reproduce the save issue with that file (I have the same error opening your file)...

I suggest you to open a bug in the BTS (I don't know if it is SS-1225 or is a new bug)


*sensible data removed from frontpage

You have to use an advanced notepad (see here). In your case I've added 57 and a at the end of the file, as described in the error message.


Best regards,

yikes, I forgot about that, thank you. I'm going to remove the file for that reason and post the original file before error.

Can you describe where this would be at?

Does = end of region or beginning of region?

thank you again Davide

You are welcome

That's XML code, you have to begin something and to end it. You may have also if it is not expected that something should be nested inside it (this depends on the tag).

The code of your file was cut off during the last save, so something at the end of file is missing. You can see it because you should see as last tag, but this is missing.

What is needed is to close all the opened tags, then try to open it again.

I see, thank you.

I am wondering if:

a.) there were just too many area regions
b.) there was a deleted bottom line of an area region
c.) a copy / past of a area region screwed up something

I checked for case b multiple times but could not find anything.

a shoudn't be a problem, there are for sure more math regions than area regions, and I'm pretty sure that math regions are more complex than area regions, so I guess the issue is not here.

maybe there are problems on copy/paste operations, or maybe the problem is elsewhere, but I don't know...
