I tried using that header with some large patterns and had no problems doing a paste. Please post an entire header+pattern that reproduces your problem (hopefully 100% of the time).

Here's a file that consistently causes the issue for me:

I've got bad news regarding a related glitch - Pasting RLEs that are above 100 kilobytes in size now also causes the same effect. I can't reproduce this bug. I'm able to paste in patterns much larger than 100K. Please provide more info, such as a specific pattern and the current algorithm. I've sin...

Unfortunately, Golly 1.4 for iOS retains the file-overwrite freeze glitch from Golly 1.3, acting identically to the Golly 1.3 iteration of said glitch. I am using the same iPad Pro 12.9" (2022) as the previous instance of this glitch (Albeit running iOS 17.5.1), with the "beep" sound effect still pl...
