Bug Description
I have been useing RedNotebook for 9 months now, making some notes almost every day. It has been working fine, but it started hanging all of a sudden after I installed latest version 1.10.2. Seems to happen at the point when it is auto-saving my writing to text files. And after it hangs, I am not able to start it anymore - if I shut it down and try to restart, it just hangs immediately again. The only way to get rednotebook running again is to manually open the text file what it saved last, and then manually remove the latest entry. After that I am again able to start RedNotebook again.
So it seems to me, that RedNotebook saves something corrupt to the text file, and then hangs. The file looks perfectly fine to me ( if I open it e.g. via Notepad++). I just need to manually remove the last entry. If I then copy-past the exact same deleted content on the RedNotebook UI (and remove all the extra escape characters what RedNotebook stores to text files). It is still fine. So the issue does not seem to be in the actual text content itself, but something else corrupts the file...
I use Windows 7 Enterprice as OS.

Thanks for the report! Can you check that your disk isn't full, please?
Does the error happen with any kind of text, or does it have to contain
specific words?
