[PENDING] Lockup issues when changing properties

[scottmartin]

In the latest release, I have had several lockups when adding a panel, adding a container and trying to change the width of the container.

It simply renders all the controls useless. I cannot change any of the values.

I can resize the window, but the container remains that same size like it is frozen.
This has happened the last 2 times I have tried it.

All menus/buttons work, but the main design canvas and property editor are useless.

I cannot exit the program (exit dialog displays), but nothing happens.
I cannot kill the process using top/kill. I have to restart X to remove the app.

I am using:
Ubuntu 9.10/amd64

Regards,
Scott.

Hi Scott,

If you are able to produce a 1-2-3 step process to reproduce the lockup, then please let us know. The lockup is caused by a Javascript error, which will cause a basic breakdown of everything.

Also, if you pass the kill signal to the kill command, it should stop the process.

kill -9 <proc #>

Load XDS
-Place a Window/panel
-Add several containers (hbox)
-Add several textfields
-Add a width value to any of the containers.

As mentioned, kill does absolutely nothing. App remains until I restart X.

Has happened twice, but intermittently as to when.

Regards,
Scott.

Ok thanks for the steps, will look into this.

If kill -9 doesn't work, Force Quit will. Open System Monitor and find the process, then you can End Process (or right-click and Kill Process, though this should be the same as kill -9). I know that works, I've had to do it myself

Let me reiterate the steps to make sure this is accurate (there's some ambiguity):

1. New Panel
2. Set Panel to hbox layout
3. Add two Containers to Panel
4. Add two TextFields to Panel
5. Set a width to one of the Containers

[scottmartin]

-Window (or panel)
--container (hbox)
---textfields

change width of container holding fields.

As for System Monitor, that worked, thanks.. I have always used CLI.

Scott.

Ok I will try to reproduce the issue. Thanks.
