Bug when comparing directories

[Alexo]

After updating to 12.0.1.4, I get this error consistently popping up between 20% and 40% through when recursively comparing directories:

If it's reproducible, please attach your sample folders and your exported options.

Also, it would be helpful to know what last build worked for you for the same pair. Is it also possible that something changed on your machine?

It's a little more complicated. I can reliably reproduce it on my desktop, but not on the laptop with the same folders and settings.
Furthermore, if I copy the folders to the laptop and run EDP on the desktop, comparing them over the network, the issue does not happen, which makes me believe that this is timing related.

I managed to find the setting that effects it (with all other settings reset to default).
Unchecking it makes the issue disappear.

Probably trying to open the file in one thread while it is still open in another.
I'd prefer to still use it though, if a fix is possible.

12.0.1.1 used to work I believe, but if it is in fact timing related then it could have still had the problem.

Thanks. We haven't been able to reproduce this so far.

I don't believe there are any changes that could affect this behavior since build 12.0.1.1.

Could you also attach an image with the error? Any other clues, of course, would be welcome.

The error is attached to the first post.

Also, not sure about 12.0.1.1.
It was the one installed on the laptop so I assumed it was the one on the desktop before I updated.

I wanted to see the error the the main window in the background.

The error pops up directly over the progress dialog, I moved it.

Thanks again. We are still unable to replicate the error but there will be a change in the next build to make saving cached diffs more robust.
