I had similar symptom when the background bitmap used for the scrap is extremely large. In that case needs to be replaced by smaller bitmap. Also suggest to check whether UTF-8 is the right encoding for you or wether it should be ISO8859-1 (if you're in Europe).

Another problem could be an invisible character somewhere. Check it by line numbers. Programers text editor may help much. m.s. 5. 6. 2015 v 5:40, Rob Countess <rob.countess@gmail.com>: Just a total shot in the dark but I had something similar when I copied and pasted from a text editor into therion editor. The therion editor. I ended up doubling the first line the text encoding line (UTF blahblahblah) which was not entirely obvious because the therion editor seems to hide that line. Once I fixed it the problems went away. On Thursday, June 4, 2015, Adam Sampson <caver.adam@outlook.com> wrote: As I'm learning I occasionally have errors in my .th2 file. When I open a file with a problem in the therion editor it gives me an error, an error that prevents me from editing the file or from closing the program! And this is for a file that actually compiles (with warnings) as long as I don't open it in the editor. Since I can't edit the file in the editor I'm using trial and error to clear it up in a text editor. But it's a pain to do trial and error when I get stuck with a non-responsive program each time I have an error. Is there a way to make it so that I can at least close the program on error? I'm on Windows and in order to close the program I have to open task manager and click "End Task" several times before Windows realizes it has to help me close the program the hard way.
