Synopsis: Crash starting up EiffelStudio

Description

I had quit the night before, committed some stuff with git from the project. When I started up this morning, I got the dialog asking for the project to open, used the Open button, and it immediately crashed. The crash window opened up in front, leaving the Project dialog and Empty Development Tool #1 behind it.

The env.sh I as using looks like this:

#!/bin/bash
export ISE_PLATFORM=linux-x86
export ISE_EIFFEL=/home/chris/eiffel/Eiffel_15.01
export PATH=$PATH:$ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin
cd $ISE_EIFFEL/examples/studio/tour
estudio $1

Perhaps it's confused by the $1 I added? I had intended to select a project on the command line, but then didn't supply any argument when using env.sh.

When using that env.sh referenced above passing an argument, it does not crash. But it said the ecf file reference I passed in could not be read. It leaves the 
Empty Development Tool #1 open, and it is usable, although only for other projects (not the original one I was opening).

That would be because of the cd line above the estudio call! However after removing that line, the same crash repeated when the proper argument was supplied. The crash also repeated after removing the argument from the script and selecting the project myself.

To Reproduce

I tried Restart Now and immediately got the error again. I also tried Quit and trying again, and Ignore. The same crash was repeatable. I also tried using the Clean checkbox, with no different results. 

I could open other projects just  fine, so I figured it was time to move my EIFGENs aside and try that. That allowed the project to open; I have the crashing EIFGENs folder available if you want me to try something else to track down the issue.

I thought I had already attached this trace .. oh I see, I hit the Upload button on this form, which causes the attachment to be removed ??!? What is that Upload button supposed to be for? Anyway this time I'll go to Preview with the doc attached.

Hi,

Thanks for the detailed description of your problem, there is only one thing missing that would help us understanding the issue. When EiffelStudio crashes, you should have a window with an exception trace in it. Could you copy it and attach it to this bug report?
