Another Crash Bug

Oct 31, 2010 tarenty link
Low priority, I haven't heard of anybody else having this bug, but I'm mostly sure it has nothing to do with my plugins: I hit the hotkeys 'e' and 'r' when I dock to repair and reload my ship, automatically. When I hit 'e' to reload and have no weapons in need of reloading, VO crashes. I can get you more information if needed, about my ship, replicating the bug, etc.

Is it 100% reproducible (with and without plugins)? Do you Dock and the press e and r as soon as the station interface is visible or do you wait some amount of time? Is the 'Reload' button greyed out?
What is your ship and loadout?

In this instance, it was a Behemoth XC. Reload is not clickable. Time after docking doesn't matter. I'll try to reproduce it a bit and tell you.

Later: I can't seem to reproduce it, though I can cause major lag by pressing the e and r buttons repeatedly (this isn't all I did to test...), I can even get my computer to start heating up in a matter of seconds. Any reason for this?

If the buttons are greyed out, pressing e or r shouldn't do anything at all. Please try it without any plugins at all to see if you experience the same issues.

It seems a plugin is causing the trouble, then. Removing my plugins solved the problem. I'll identify which one and contact the programmer, and get some details. Thanks for the help.

It may be a hotkey conflict problem: a custom tab appended by a plugin when the tabs are shown with some hotkeys which conflict with the default ones. Normally this shouldn't be a problem but there seems to be a bug with iup's hotkeys that sometimes causes a crash if the box with new hotkeys is appended.

EDIT: or the cause of the appending bug could be something I've done in the code. :/

Sounds plausible. I'll just click it from now on, or get that auto reload/refill pluggy. Thanks.
