Description

Hi folks,

I'm running Brackets 1.13 on Windows 7 Enterprise with a list of extensions also used by my colleagues. I recently started to code on a flipped screen (vertical, Resolution: 1920x1080).

Since then Brackets started to crash randomly for me. Since none of my colleagues has any crash issues while running the same version of Brackets in the same environment as me, I'm assuming that the crashes are somehow connected to my vertical screen and thus bigger vertical screen space.

I've attached a crash dump to this post, hoping that it will provide some insight.

Brackets.exe.7992.dmp.zip

Best regards.
