Your comments

I am also getting into this issue.

I’m tying to open a perl script (but it’s 36kB) and every time Textastic crashes after a second.

I can barely see the syntax being colored for an instant and then I’m back on Springboard.

The offending file is “Markdown.pl” from this zip archive: http://daringfireball.net/projects/downloads/Markdown_1.0.1.zip

Sequence of operations I’ve done:

- from Safari go on http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

- click on the previous link and download the zip file

- chose to open with Textastic

- within Textastic extract the archive and touch Markdown.pl

Tested on iPad2,2, iOS 5.1.1, and current release of Textastic (theme Eiffel).

If you need more informations or the crash logs just ask, thank you.
