PureBasic Forums - English

I suspect it might have something to do with the session history, but can't be sure. I get several lockups/crashes a day.

When it does lock up, the CPU jumps to 25% and stays there until I kill purebasic.exe

Same here, since I've changed from 5.73 to 6.11 I have multiple situations where the IDE just start hanging here and then. Even the CPU load is still low (around 8 or 12%), the IDE window doesn't react, waiting 10 or 15 minutes doesn't change anything.

Maybe there's a debugging version available to get detailed information what's going wrong.

There's no indication what triggers the issue, most of the time it is a shortcut (Ctrl+F, F5, Ctrl+Pos1 or whatever).

I do play around with PB6.11 for 10 days or so and the crash "counter" must be close to 100. So the session history (which I never saw before) has tons of confusing (Unsaved source...) entries already. Would be nice to get some sorting/filter options and more information about the file (e.g. the size in bytes because between a click on one item and the moment until the source is seen may take 5 seconds or so). A right button menu with options like "Load source into IDE..." or "Save source as..." would be fine as well.

Could you try to deactivate session history to see if it's the root cause ?

Switched off session history three days ago and - finger crossed - no crash for now...
...will keep the setting disabled for a week or so and will post the results here.

Bad news, the IDE freezed again (session history is still disabled). I just was scrolling around and was wondering that some lines seemed to look wrongly intented. I had only some "milliseconds" before the window was shown whitened so I am not sure what lines have been shown - my impression was that they where from the collapsed procedure above the cursor.

Four times freezing took place - still no idea what could be responible for that behaviour. Think about reusing the 5.73er edition again.

Does it happen with a clean PureBasic install with NO prefs file previously created (it'll be in APPDATA)?

I am using a portable installation and use identical prefererence files as for PB5.73 - same has been done with 6.00, 6.04 and 6.10 which I din't use very often but I can't remember that any IDE has been freezing before I started using 6.11.

I am also experiencing a lot of freezes since PB 6.xx. I am using the windows x64 IDE. The window stops responding and i have to kill the process. It happens at random several times a day.

No prefs, virgin environment, no session history, still happened. Maybe scintilla?

Does it still happens ?

Didn't test 6.20 for now, so I can't give a feedback here.
What I could see meanwhile is that the problem was not introduced with version 6.11 but earlier - actually I work with 6.04 and have to accept two or more crashs a day.
