typecatcher crashed with timeout in readline(): timed out

[James King]

After loading up Typecatcher, I browsed through 4 fonts. After the 4th font, I'm given the message that there was an error. However, instead of closing Typecatcher, a new instance of the program is opened up. I am consistently unable to browse through more than 4 fonts without the program crashing on me. I am using Lubuntu 12.10 on an Acer Aspire One d255 netbook with 1GB of RAM and a 160MB Hard Drive.

Hi James,

Thanks for testing and reporting your issue!

I can't seem to reproduce this myself. Looking at the error message it seems network related. Is there anything special about your network situation? Are you behind a proxy?

I'm tethered to an iPhone for my internet access, which is at 3G speeds.
(The latest test I took at speedtest.net showed 2.35Mbps download speed.)
