Diff window crash

Today I was comparing two source files, and wanted to copy all the text from one side of the diff window. When I highlighted all the lines, about 100 to be exact, the diff window crashed asking me if I wanted to send the crash data to Microsoft. If I only selected 200-300 lines a time it worked fine, but I when I tried to copy more than say 500 lines it crashed everytime.

I am using

Vault Client version 2.0.6 (2219)

Window XP Professional SP1

512MB Ram (about 100 meg available when I was doing the copy)

Let me know if there is any more information needed.

I think I've been able to reproduce it, but I can only get it to happen when copying text for a second time. My method looks like this:

1. Create a file with a couple of thousand lines.
2. Make an edit
3. Invoke a show differences
4. Select a large number of lines (> 1000)
5. control-C
6. control-C again - boom

I've logged this as a high-prioity bug against the next version.

Thanks for the report.
