SAP Note 1599299 - SAP GUI crashes sporadically when using ABAP Editor

Component : Graphical User Interface - Syntax, Compiler, Runtime

Summary :
SAP GUI for Windows experiences intermittent crashes due to a race condition within the ABAP Editor, particularly during operations involving the source code parser and the display thread. This inconsistency might corrupt the internal memory leading to system instability manifested either through GUI process termination or short dumps (MESSAGE_TYPE_X) in the backend involving the SAPLOLEA program and AC_SYSTEM_FLUSH function module. The trace of such issues often includes "@RtlpLowFragHeapFree@8" in the front end call stack. A fix has been proposed through a forthcoming SAP GUI patch, and users should refer to the "SP Patch Level" section for specific patch details containing corrections.

Key words :
