Occasional crash

[Jeremy Tribby]

I have noticed in one particular project with a ton of kerning (multiscript, lots of models), sometimes Kern On will hang. I have noticed that this is related to the state that Glyphs is in — depending on when I have last saved. There are cases where Glyphs will create an Autosaved version that is smaller in size than the actual Glyphspackage file. And if I run Kern On in such a state, it will hang and I will have to force quit. When I reopen Glyphs the Austosaved version will be corrupted. How exactly that scenario occurs, I'm not 100% sure, but I've wondered if it's a problem with a recently kerned and saved font with let's say 10,000 pairs; a large file. Opening Kern On will delete all that kerning, I think, and then an autosave occurrs that causes the discrepancy in file size, messing things up somehow when i try to run Kern On again? I'm not sure, just a guess..

Yeah, just following up after more testing: I can't quite pinpoint what causes the filesize discrepancy to occur, but if you kern while the autosaved version is smaller, it will hang and not recover (spinning beachball)
