Thanks for the feedback. Can you reproduce this with just the RSyntaxTextArea demo application? Or maybe the demo applet? RSTA isn't using any native code, so any JVM crash like that one is likely either a JVM bug or an issue with your JVM install or system.

I have not yet confirmed if this only happens on OSX.
The following crash happens ( like one in ten) when typing keywords in java. As soon as the last character of the keyword is typed(so when highlight comes in) the application crashes. Could it be my code /bug / OSX bug? Hoping this is helpful.

- when run from netbeans, on crash the following line is printed on terminal :
Invalid memory access of location 0x0 rip=0x7fff8fad400e -
