I'm considering uploading a crash dump, but if it might contain the text of my documents, I'd rather not. Does it contain sensitive information? If so is there a way to separate it from useful stuff?

No, and therefore not needed. – soandos Jun 03 '11 at 05:45

@JoeInternet not sure if you mean this, but also a good idea to search for sensitive words in the dump with a hex editor (although I do it in total commander lister; or with `strings` command + grep). – n611x007 Aug 28 '13 at 18:03

Crash dumps don't contain document contents - generally they contain the full stack traces, error logs.

There are different kind of dumps AFAIK. I don't know about yours, but if you create a dump file with right click > `create dump` in `task manager`, of a process, it contains undo/redo history, unsaved documents, and even saved documents, for me. I don't know if any/which of these stuff is in other kind of dumps, but it is good to know this. – n611x007 Aug 28 '13 at 18:01
