I just stumbled upon a bug in TeXnicCenter while wanting to Alt-Tab away to another window, but hitting the wrong key by mistake. If you press Alt + ` (the most upper left key, the same as ~ on an internationally configured keyboard), the program crashes. I've restarted both my computers and retried this, and it's perfectly reproducable and to the best of my knowledge, a reliable bug report.
Since I'm submitting a bug report anyway, I might as well tell you about another one that I've been aware of for quite a number of years now
. If you compile something to DVI output, pressing Ctrl + F7, all goes fine. If you then change the selection to PDF output and press Ctrl + F7 to recompile, nothing happens. The workaround is to compile using Build > Current File > Build in the menu, from which point on, compiling with Ctrl + F7 works fine again. The same problem occurs when first compiling to PDF and then switching to DVI. I noticed it since I hardly use the mouse while TeXing, and since DVI-files are smaller in size but users are more likely to have a PDF viewer, I produce output of both types.PS: If there is a better place to report bugs, please let me know. Since the Issue Tracker is down, I thought your own forum would be the best place to try.
) and it seems to be a compatibility issue on Win2k/WinXP (not tested on NT yet, but it works on Windows Me for example). Whenever you press Alt + [any other key] some kind of unicode character code is sent to the application, what causes a crash somewhere in the BCGControlBar Library used by TeXnicCenter. As the BCGControlBar Library is not open-source we're unable to fix this bug without obtaining a newer version of the library.
