Hey Andreas, BetterTouchTool crashes when double clicking text on webpages. Send by email console and BetterTouchTool log reports.

Edit: tested on latest Arc and Firefox versions.

it looks like you are showing a HUD on double-click? Do you know what this is? It seems to crash when placing some special variables into the HUD (probably the clipboard\_content variable).

yes, when selecting text it gets copied to the clipboard and shown in a HUD as sort of copy confirmation. This worked perfectly in prev. releases.  
I use TextSelectionMenu in a slightly modified way, so any text selection is always automatically copied to clipboard.

I think it is some sort of threading / timing issue. In 5.503 I added various checks to prevent such, would be great if you could try it. (uploading now)
