Area(s) with issue?

Registry Preview

Steps to reproduce

Open a large .reg file (e.g. export of HKCU.)

Note: I can't reproduce it yet.

✔️ Expected Behavior

For the large file a error message is shown. After closing the app I can open other smaller fiels without problems.

❌ Actual Behavior

The large file shows a taskbar button without window. After closing the app I can't use it anymore until deleting the settings file. The settings file contains a broken window placement setting.

{"appWindow.Position.X":-32000,"appWindow.Position.Y":-32000,"appWindow.Size.Width":199,"appWindow.Size.Height":48}

having a repro here and sample file here is critical. Exporting HKCU IMO is not a realistic usage of the tool as well.

I was testing some other things and opened the wrong file by mistake. Normally the app shows a message that the file is to large. But in this case something triggered the wrong window size. Not sure what and why. - Maybe the large file isn't the reason.

Btw. I didn't upload a bug report because the utility doesn't have a log file. We have only the module interface log which is useless in this case.
