Crashing while managing inventory? O^o

Recently I have had a lot of crashes while sorting through my inventory items. In particular, it's crashing when I try to delete an inventory item. I've reported it via the crash logging feature, and via a bug report, but I wanted to see if others are also experiencing this glitch.

I'm on a Mac Mini, running the current release of SL. No other apps open. High-speed cable modem connection to the Internet. In general, the system runs SL fairly well, though like many people lag can be an issue. The Sim I am in when this is happening is The Forest.

In-world, I try to sort through a bunch of freebie clothes and other inventory items. I spend a few minutes sorting blouses into one folder, t-shirts into another, pants onto another, and some complete outfits into folders of their own. No real problems, usually.

Then I open a folder and realize that I now have two copies of the same jacket, collected from two free sources. Or I toss something out on the floor to determine what it is, take it back into inventory, and decide to delete it. Either way, I open a folder and select an item, and delete it. Or rather, I try to.

On occasion, especially after doing a number of changes to folder organization, when I try to delete something from Inventory, SL crashes. It freezes up for a minute or two, then crashes back to Finder. On launching SL again, if I don't wait for a minute or so after the crash, attempting to log in gets a message that it can't find the login server. If I quit and re-launch SL, or if I just wait a bit after a crash, SL launches and logs in normally. When I get back in-world, the item I was attempting to delete has usually, but not always, been deleted.

It's happened ten times or more in a single evening. It seems most likely to happen when I've made a rapid-fire series of changes. If I work 'too fast', crashes seem more likely than if I take more time.

yep, this happens to me every once in a while. i haven't figured out anything in particular that sets it off. i think it's a known bug, but not positive about that.

Same here and I use the same computer also. I notice its a bug of some sort, each time I'm workin on my inventory and deleting a lot, it crashes on delete...

I'm on a mac ibook. It does this to me all the time. I move things into folders before I delete to prevent it.

Jessant? You're saying that if you gather the items to be discarded into a folder, and then delete that folder rather than individual items, it never crashes? Thank you for that work-around! I'll try that soon.
