ObjectDock v1.0 build 285 crashing (too long title?)

Wednesday, February 18, 2004 by antiRev | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I've just downloaded ObjectDock v1.0 build 285, and it was working fine, even better than fine. However, I launched IDEA IntelliJ to find that when its icon is enlarged and its trying to show the apps title, ObjectDock crashes. I believe the problem is that the title is too long, as it is 230+ characters in size. When IntelliJ has a short title, i.e. <20 characters, it doesn't crash when the icon is enlarged and its showing the title. I've changed the font to Arial Narrow, size 7, and (not unexpectedly) that didn't solve it. Is it, perchance, a windows buffer overrun problem?

Extract them to the Themes folder in the ObjectDock directory.

To your first question..... I don't know the why behind it, but seems you've found the solution.
230 characters is one heck of a long program name.

Its not just the program name, its combining the program name, with the project file, and the current file being edited.
Agreed its bit of a long title, but I just wanted to report the bug. I wasn't sure where to do it, as when you download
it you get the "I understand that I am downloading unsupported beta software. That means I will not try to obtain technical support from Stardock." stuff. Do the devs of ObjectDock nosey around these boards?

I would have thought either a short e-mail reporting the issue for them to be aware of it, or check the stardock dev news groups, and post the issue there. news.stardock.com is their news (NNTP) server...and the group stardock.object dock would be where I'd post it.
