runtime error in 2015b17

[Kali]

Windows Ultimate 64bits, Avant Ultimate, Firefox engine.
Start Avant, default blank page, open favorite from Favorites bar:

Code: Select all

Error
Runtime error 216 at 029E2728
OK

After clicking OK this next error message came:

Code: Select all

Unexpected Memory Leak
An unexpected memory leak has occurred. The unexpected small block leaks are:
1 - 12 bytes: String x 20, Unknown x 1
13 - 20 bytes: String x 22
21 - 28 bytes: String x 14
29 - 36 bytes: String x 9
37 - 44 bytes: String x 5
45 - 52 bytes: String x 2
OK

Very often this new version waits a long time before reacting after clicking on a favorite.
As if it's checking something in the background before starting to load the page.
That happened this time also before these errors occurred.

The developer is working on this problem.We'll give you a test file later and see whether the problem is fixed.
Please see this topic: http://forum.avantbrowser.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34785

I just installed the latest beta, early reports are it has fixed this issue. If anything changes of course I will report back.

Looks good so far.
Did some testing with lots of sites opening the same time and closing them randomly.
('Open all links' in Group or Favorites folder.)
Usually this causes a freeze somewhere but now it didn't.

[DUNSEL]

Yeah, built 21 has performed flawlessly so far. It's more stable than I am. For those for whom it didn't work, perhaps an uninstall and reinstall?

[Kali]

Alas, after zooming out and in on a page with a long list everything froze up again
(2015b22, No error message.)

[xiaobing]

The latest test file is build 24,please try it and see if there is any problem: http://dl1.avantbrowser.com/abbeta.exe

[Kali]

So far so good with 2015b24.
But no worries, I will try to break something

[Kali]

Two freezes with 2015b24:
- from a link in text page tot page with movie clips
- after closing the last tab
This last one has often been the moment to freeze up in all versions, when no page (not even a new blank page) was left the UI stopped responding.
(No error messages.)

[DUNSEL]

I can verify the above, it's happened to me twice so far with build 24.

[mathman]

I was about to report a bug - it turns out that it is the one being discussed here. Since it is a minor nuisance (version 17 - no freeze, just message), what is the safest course of action - ignore it or try the suggestions here?

Please update to 2015 build 27

[Kali]

Installed 2015b27. Again so far so good, even after opening large groups of links and closing them randomly.

Also installed this version on Windows 10 (64b, upgraded from Win7 Ult.): FF/GC perform okay but the IE engines seem to be slower.

[Kali]

Freezes in 2015b27 sometimes occurred after closing the last tab while keeping Avant open.

[Kali]

2015b27 freezes only (sometimes) after the last tab has been closed. It did not freeze when I opened a new blank tab before closing the rest, leaving that new tan open.

Suggestion for testversion:
Can you open a blank page when starting Avant, keeping that tab hidden, and impossible to close (e.g. with option Close All), not iving a warning when closing Avant ('there's a page open, are you sure blahblah').

If I'm right this version should not freeze up.

Forget it. It just froze while I was watching a streaming video, opened another program and returned to Avant.

2015b27 freezes only (sometimes) after the last tab has been closed. It did not freeze when I opened a new blank tab before closing the rest, leaving that new tan open.

After it freezes, will it return normal if you wait a few seconds?

[DUNSEL]

I've seen the crash a handful of times since installing the latest stable version. It hasn't been enough times to spot any sort of pattern, and therefore not enough times to bother complaining about. It's livable.
