Processing IDE lock-up with Find

Open RichardDL99 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'm using Processing 4.2 This has happened to me at least 3 times. I usually have 2 or more sketches open. I regret can't give exact key sequence to make it happen, but it involves ^f or ^g or both. Most of the time they work as expected, but sometimes the IDE locks-up. When this happens sometimes the 'Find' window is there, sometimes not.

When the lock-up happens, I click on every Processing window but can't get the editing cursor to jump to the mouse pointer. Can't close or resize the window with the top right controls. Menu items don't work. Alt-space will produce the menu, but 'Close' doesn't work.

Can't find any escape from the situation except e.g. TaskMgr to kill the process.

This happened again today. I had previously used ^f and ^g to find something. After that was editing and all working. Pressed ^g to find again, but it locked up. There was one other pde open. Neither pde was running. (Windows 10 version 22H2).
