[New-bugs-announce] [issue35228] Index search in CHM help crashes viewer

[Christian Ullrich]

New submission from Christian Ullrich <chris at chrullrich.net>:

Typing into the index keyword field frequently crashes the CHM viewer with the first or second character. The Python CHMs are the only ones that I see this crash with; it started around 3.6 or so.
