TextPad aborts: searching for "." restarts program

When I search for a period ( "." ) -- the Regular Expression box is not ticked -- TextPad shuts down then restarts with an empty screen.
How can I prevent that?

Which version of TextPad do you have? Does this only happen when searching in one particular file?

TextPad 9.9.5 (released on March 14, 2026) for Intel64
The abort happens on all files

If TextPad creates a dump file when it crashes, please send a copy to the email address it gives you at the time.

TextPad doesn't create a dump file; it just closes down then opens a new empty file

I can't reproduce this. Does it make any difference if the regular expression box is checked? Does it occur when searching for any other single character?
