A Strange Bug In Word

By linathael. Original by Lionel - 17/07/2006 10:07:01 CEST - Category: Software
First a report from Aprezman.
I have just discovered a quite amazing bug in Word (part of Microsoft office). If one types the following sentence: "T'es avec moi ou pas ?", the application crashes! This phenomenon happens with Word 2000 or 2004, on a G3, G4 or Core Duo-based Mac.
Could not test it on a PC, but it remains a quite amazing bug.
You could reproduce the bug easily with Word 2004. The question mark is not required for having the application to crash.
The bug is still effective without the automatic spelling option.
It would be interesting to know if this French sentence will also affect other language Word versions (German, UK, etc...), or if the translated sentence leads to the same symptom in local Word version.
It is weird...
