What's the issue you encountered?

I'm seeing a crash while editing patterns in ImHex's built-in editor.

Looking at the source, this happens on lines that only contains spaces:

auto home=0;
while (isspace(line[home].mChar))
    home++;

We're going out-of-bounds in the crashing call trying to find the first non-space character:

gef➤  p mLines[mState.mCursorPosition.mLine]
$5 = std::vector of length 4, capacity 4 = {{
    mChar = 0x20, [...]
  }, {
    mChar = 0x20, [...]
  }, {
    mChar = 0x20, [...]
  }, {
    mChar = 0x20, [...]
  }}

How can the issue be reproduced?

Press Home key on an empty line

Yes, good catch. Bug was introduced when it was requested that home should go to first non-space character in the line. I completely missed checking if line was empty first. I'll patch it and post a PR. will let you know when it gets merged so you can check it. Thanks for taking the time to provide an extended analysis.

This bug was fixed in a recently merged PR (#2193). You can download a nightly build from GitHub actions to confirm that the bug no longer occurs so that this issue can be closed as resolved.

[Mrmaxmeier]

Looks good. Thanks!
