IDE deadlock when handling several windows
Posted: Sun May 17, 2009 4:39 pm
Hello!
Having several windows opened (some of them with Sticky-flag), there can occur a deadlock under certain circumastances (if the windows overlap each other in a certain way).
I tried to compile this buggy code and I had Debugger-windows opened from the last session from another source. The Macro-error-window appears but does not have the Sticky-flag, so I cannot access it with the mouse to confirm it. Sure I can press Return, but I must also work with the mouse.
I cannot close the Debugger-windows, too, because I always get a sound from Windows ("ding"). I hope you know what I mean. Screenshot:
Neither you can access the Macro error, nor can you close the debugger windows, when you have these windows opened in this constellation.
Suggestion: Give the Macro-Error-Window the Sticky-flag.
