Fixes for Mantis q40 editor crashing? (self.Blind)
submitted by Motya105
I recently started using a Mantis Q40, and the editor will randomly stop working, discarding any changes I’ve made to a document. A message appears reading, “Editor has stopped working, please restart the application.” The editor does not auto-save your work, so I have to always press Control-S, hoping that it won’t crash on me. I come from a BrailleNote Apex, which auto-saved your work when you closed the word processor, so this constant crashing is really impeding my workflow. I’ve contacted the manufacturer, but they said that though other customers had reported the issue as well, there’s no fix at this time. Does anyone know what’s causing the editor to crash, and how to fix it? I’m running the latest version of the Mantis’s firmware. Thanks for any help!

It's a very expensive and exclusive device. Unless Humanware can pin it down or enough clever users find a trigger, there's absolutely nothing you can do. The BVI community is full of clever tinkerfolk - look at the breadth of NVDA addons available. But something like this is closed-source and clammed-up. Save more often and find a more reliable system would be all I could advise.
