[softwarelist] join_lines applet (bug?)

Picking up the theme of recent postings I am constantly impressed with
the quality of DP's instant and helpful responses to bug reports.
[THANKYOU] I'm hesitant to mention this one because I usually manage to
keep alert to it and stop it happening.

The problem arises because I do a lot of OCR-ing and then need to
re-format text which has too many line breaks in it....

When I highlight a section of text including the last line, which
terminates with a <ctrl> G page break, and apply <ctrl> J to join lines
including the last line, it stiffs the machine and I can only get going
again with an <alt> break to terminate OPro. (usually, of course, it
happens just *before* an auto-save is due....)

OPro is RISC 2.77 and joinlines is 1.05.

The work-around is to keep alert and avoid highlighting the last line
before the page break, but working on a two hundred page book, being
ancient I too often lose concentration!!!

If it's fixable, I would be grateful. If not, I must drink more coffee.

Thanks anyway for OPro; my most-used application.
