Strange WE bug?

Well I was generating my maps item tooltips when this started happening. All my tooltips are based off of this base template.

|cffff4500<Item-Type>|r |cffffA500<Item Level>|r

|cff32cd32<Stat1>:|r
|cff32cd32<Stat2>:|r
|cff32cd32<Stat3>:|r
|cff32cd32<Stat4>:|r

|cff8b0000<Active Ability>|r
|cff00ced3Cast Range:|r
|cff00ced3Duration:|r
|cff00ced3Cooldown:|r
|cff00ced3Effect:|r <Ability Description>

Now I would just copy and paste them into my items extended tooltip field and all would go fine for a while.. After I have done a few items I will go to past it into one and I will get an error from WE and it will crash, losing all my progress :\

Kinda strange..
I think I'm goint to start trying it with the |n code instead of that set-up.

The moral of the story is to save more often.

I can't think of any reason why it would crash in such cases, I've used tooltip styles like that before myself and they don't seem to cause any problems, even if they're too long for the tooltip boxes. The best I can do is to refer to my first sentence in this post.

Yeah I kinda figure that so now I've just started doing all their tooltips outside of WE and I'm just gonna copy over the finished ones so even if it does crash again I won't lose everything..

i have a save obsession. its usually at least every five min and sometimes its 3 times in a row with out doing any thing. thats really annoying on big maps.

Whenever I make a new unit or spell, I go Ctrl-S, Ctrl-S, Ctrl-F9. It works pretty well.

Don't use autosave, it might interrupt you in the middle of some badass coding.
