The last two days I have a very stupid problem. The pascal text of an
unit suddenly cannot be loaded in the editor. If I try so, Lazarus
hangs... Must be stopped via Task manager.

I have tested on spurious characters in the .Pas file: none;
I have deleted portions of the text: doesn't help;
I have renamed the pas-file and the lpr and lpi files changed: doesn't
help;
I have even made the file empty: Lazarus still hangs!!
I have checked all xml-option-files: nothing found...
When I compile the project: no problem at all, everything OK.

Im getting crazy........ I cannot debug this unit: very
uncomfortable...

Somebody some ideas?

I'm using Lazarus 0.9.29 on Windows XP SP3

Which revision? Did you update it in those last 2 days? Before the
update which revision/time of 0.9.29 ?

Did you see if anything is in the log? --debug-log=C:\log.txt

Can you open the unit outside the project (e.g work on anew/empty
project and just open it)

Do you save the project session in the lpi or as lps, or lps in your
user directory (C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\lazarus\projectsessions\)
If you remove the project session, any change?

Can you open the unit if you rename it to unit.txt ? (any none pascal
extension, so no syntax highlighter is used)

If you can open it as *.txt, what happens if you then use the
context/popup menu and choose to highlight it as pascal?

Can you attach (or send by private mail) the source that is needed to
reproduce?

No, I did not update the last week. Now: revision 26308

When I open a new project and try to open that unit souce text, I get
the same result: hanging IDE

No, I didn't save the session. BTW I cannot find how to do that...
There are no project sessions saved.

Yes I can open it as a .txt file. But my popup menu doesn't show  the
possibility to highlight it as pascal.

Yes, I'll send you the source text...

And ...thank you very much for replying!

Problem solved!

There was a corrupted installation of RichMemo. Removing, downloading
and a new instalation of Richmemo solved the problem...
