2.8.5 Internal Error Dilemma
 

A window pops up and says there's been an internal error, but that it can survive it, and to select all the text and email it to limewire for debugging purposes.
Only problem, how do you select and copy the text? There's no edit on the menu bar, the darn thing scrolls forever inside a tiny little box, and although you can highlight what is visible, what's visible is about 3 lines out of maybe 300.

No wonder we have bugs, we can't report the dang things and of course there are no instructions on how to do any of this stuff.

Hopefully, I am overlooking something, so if anyone can help, mucho appreciado.

There should be a copy button in that window, which you can use. Otherwise click in the text box and press control-A (select all) and then control-C (copy). You might need to replace the control key with the command key to get it to work.

I tried the copy button, but nothing happened. I'll try the keyboard command. Thanks!

A suggestion to the powers: add a method to bring forward a window that will open a new email message addressed and with the information the developers need in it.

Shareware programs like Popup Zapper do that, so I know it can't be a big deal to do.

Your keyboard method worked, thankfully.

Minutes after sending the email, I received an automated response that I want to share with you all, because I think it is telling :
-------------------------------------------
"This is an automated bugs@limewire.com email response.

Your submission to bugs@limewire.com indicated that you are using a buggy version of LimeWire that requires change. Please visit the LimeWire download page and switch to the current version. This may involve a rollback to version 2.7.13.

This makes me wonder, did their computer read my bug report, analyze it, and send out the appropriate answer, since it's an automated response, or is it programmed to send out a warning when it sees the numbers 2, 8, and 5?


Well, unfortunately, the Pro link still points to version 2.8.5, not 2.7.13, and the free version currently is 2.8.4.

So, I am now forced to shut off file sharing until they make some needed repairs to their software and their company operations.
