Default Buggy RPP session that makes Reaper slow and crashes when closing (FIXED)

Buggy RPP session that makes Reaper slow and crashes when closing.
Could anyone identify the problem?
Why the session file is this big in size? (36MB)

Now that's a weird project file for sure (you can open .rpp files with a text editor btw., they're 'human readable', kind of an XML format.).
It contains identical 'MARKER' lines several thousand times.
That's (mainly?) why it's so big.



Any idea how that could've happened, using a script that deals with markers / regions by chance?

I've deleted (only) all MARKER lines in the project file which reduces size to ~ 1MB.

I have replicated this bug with an empty project and just one marker.

The marker type 8 in your screenshot isn't valid.

Reaper seems to notice it, think it is a region (which needs an ending marker which is missing), then tries to correct the situation by adding yet another marker to signify the end of a region. But type 1 is a region, not 8. So as you edit the project the marker keeps self replicating!

To create a test project, just create an empty project, add one marker, then edit the RPP so the type of the marker is 8 (type is after the marker name field).

I seemed to have the same issue, but it was only occurring if you undo/redo something:

Here are the steps to replicate it:

1) Within the Marker Window, select a marker. It becomes highlighted a dark blue-ish.

2) Click anywhere on the timeline. The marker is now highlighted a light grey/white, an important aspect of this issue.

3) Create either a marker or a region. The previously selected marker is still highlighted a light color.

4) Ctrl + z to undo.

5) One marker is undone, but the selected marker is duplicated. --- 2 markers

6) Click elsewhere in the timeline and create another marker.

7) Ctrl + z to undo.

8) More markers --- 4 markers.

9) Make an edit to a file

10) Ctrl + z to undo….. oh wait, you want to hear that edit again. Ctrl + Shift + z to redo.

11) More markers --- 8 markers.

Ah thanks, this should all be fixed in 5.974 (and in 5.974rc1 which is available via the pre-release forum).
