SIDE crashes when run find and replace function

For about 5th time SIDE crashed when I run a find & replace.
SIDE 0.9.43 on Win 7.
Nothing special in code just some print() in main() plus method2() in the root file. Find and replace is to change a constant's name.
Anyone else see this?

Also, what is proper name of the .c file that has same name as the project and holds the main(). Root file? Main file? Driver?
Thanks.

    Hi John,

    Can you please offer very specific details about what you were doing when the crash happened?

    What word(s) were you searching for?
    Did you have case sensitivity turned on?
    Did you do replace every time?

    As you can see, there are many combinations of things available in the dialog.
    Providing detail is very important to help me understand and reproduce the problem.

    I've tried very simple tests with 0.9.45 and could not get it to crash.
    Also, what is proper name of the .c file that has same name as the project and holds the main(). Root file? Main file? Driver?
    Thanks.

    I call it the main file because it contains the main() function. Root or driver would not be very good names for it as they have very specific meanings.

    Thanks.

    Thanks (and thanks for file terminology info.)
    Working on replicating find&replace did not yield a repeat of the problem. Two files where it failed before don't fail now.
    I was changing the names of variables and const.
    Both cases I did not change settings in Find Replace box: just pasted into the find box, tabbed 3x to replace box, pasted find text again and changed it.
    The one thought that comes to mind is my var name was too long. They probably ran 15 chars.
    I'll keep experimenting to get a replication.

    Thanks for going the extra mile John. If a problem is repeatable, it is solvable.
