CrossWorks crashes when right-clicking
CrossWorks keeps crashing when right clicking in the editor. If I start the IDE, right-clicking is ok until I make any modification to a source file. After this, CrossWorks will either just hang and be force-closed by windows after a while, or it will pop-up a red box saying it has to close.
This renders the IDE completely unusable.
I am running Windows 7 x64 and CrossStudio 2.2 for ARM.

I am having the same problem. Editing a source file and right-clicking was causing a crash 100% of the time.
However I have tracked it down to the Code Completion option. Turning it off stops the crashes. I assume the feature is not fully implemented?
Pretty bad timing as the company I work for was considering purchasing a couple of licenses.
(Also: Win7 x64, Crossworks for ARM 2.2.0) -
> Too bad they didn't make the entire Crossworks as a plug-in for Eclipse
How on earth can CrossWorks be made an Eclipse plug-in? If you want something that uses Eclipse, choose Mentor CodeBench or CodeRed Red Suite or Atollic TrueSTUDIO or Freescale CodeWarrior which take Eclipse and sprinkle over whatever they do for their value-add.
CrossWorks is meant to be an alternative to Eclipse, and I have to say, I absolutely detest Eclipse.

I have used quite a few IDE's and I'll have to sat Crossworks is not among the worst, it is quite good actually but still lacks a lot of functionality.
The command-line based compiler interface already allows you to use Eclipse for development. The only thing left is the debugger interface.

Well, IAR could do it. I don't see why it would be a problem.

Clark, I experience CrossWorks for ARM crashes constantly doing benign tasks such as typing code (go figure), at least 4-6 times per day, about every two hours on average. My last several edits are usually lost, and the open-files-list state reverts to some earlier state.
Version Release 3.6.2.2015120115.26456 on Linux 64-bit, multiple stations, same thing. And heaven forbid your USB debugger should inadvertently disconnect, pret

Release 3.6.3.2016022201.27078 Linux x86 is crashing continuously while simply typing code. About every hour on average. Autocomplete enabled or disabled does not seem to make a difference. If I where not in the middle of a product release, I would be ditching CrossWorks right now, I'm about at my rope's end with CrossWorks. At the VERY LEAST CrossWorks should be able to handle ANY code input situation without puking it's guts!

I tried that, and it was going well for about 30 minutes, and I believe it was the first time I did right-click->Go-To-Definition (which I don't even know why I still bother because %95 of the time it does not find anything anyway), and application immediately crashed. I got a dialog this time however that asked if I wanted to submit a bug report, I acknowledged that dialog. Sorry I didn't get a screen snap of it, bit it didn't really offer any further information.

Typing crash with auto completion enabled: *** Error in `/usr/share/crossworks_for_arm_3.6/bin/crossstudio': malloc(): memory corruption: 0xe5e98c50 ***
The core file is too big to attach, it is here: http://www.pikeaero.com/dumps/core.tar.gz

FWIW, CrossStudio hasn't crashed on me in a long time. I'm currently running 3.6.3. But... I also have not been using the context menu within the editor very much. I actually try not to even use the editor when possible since it has many shortcomings and all "help" does is pull up random, unrelated topics.
