crash when deleting section

Hi, I had a crash when I moved all notes from a particular section to another section, and then delete the (now empty) section:

OK

Actually some time ago I had something similar, I moved notes from, and deleted, a section, and CN would hang. These were a few thousand recipes, that I figured must take some time (because of their size), but were not worth the wait, so I just killed CN after a minute, and restarted.

After I restarted CN (both cases) the notes were moved fine, but the (empty) section still existed. And I could delete that section just fine. (And of course trying to make it crash again won't work :-p)

I suppose you can't make anything of this, with these scanty details, but just in case hereby reported.

edit: I forgot to mention this time it was just a dozen notes or so, not that much like the first time.

Hi date,
Thanks a lot for your report, and sorry for the delayed reply.

There were some problems with deleting sections in older CN versions.
I assume it that you have the newest CN 3.1.1?

Yes 3.1.1.
It hasn't happened again, and I've repeated this procedure quite a few times.
It doesn't appear to have anyting to to with the number of notes (20 or 2000), or the name of the section (was probably 'temp' or 'TBD', possibly included a '-')
When it happens again, it will be unexpectedly. At least there is no data loss :)

Again, very sorry for the delay. What is that status here - did the problem come up again?
I suspect it was because of the DB problem and shouldn't happen again, but I may be wrong here.

Hi, it hasn't happened again...
it might not have been a bug, just some unretrievable circumstances.

Only weird thing is that it happened more than once, and I had a few .dmp files in my CN folder. I deleted those and (despite repeating the procedure that made it crash sometimes) CN has not crashed again.

Well then I guess its safe to say this has been the consequence of bugged older versions leaving the database in certain bad state. Now if the problem returns, please give me a shout. Thanks :)
