I'd like to note that 1.22.1 works rock stable for me on windows xp, and
I use it almost every day, sometimes continuously for hours, and not a
single issue whatsoever since it was released. I can compare this to (if
memory serves) 1.16 crashing for no apparent reason routinely and
1.18-1.20 having nasty issues with redrawing sql-code panels causing
Windows to go crazy.
I'd suppose that the main problem is wxwidgets. Either bugs in the
interaction of pgadmin code with wxwidgets or bugs in wxwidgets itself.
And wxwidgets is not so easy to deal with. However, wxwidgets 3.x looks
still somewhat alive, so it might make some sense (for a motivated user)
to try to fix problems. In a usual way: recompile-reproduce-debug-patch.
An important caveat: with wxwidgets, when you fix an issue e.g. for Mac,
you often break something at least for 1 other platform. Thats the joy
of wxwidgets. Anyway, its very time-consuming.
Official pgadmin3 development was quite clearly announced discontinued,
but maybe Dave would still accept good quality patches from creative
users for some time...
