The latest release of WeBuilder has an annoying problem. It keeps going into "Not responding" mode whenever I type a function or similar. (Tested with coding JavaScript)
I have tried creating a minimal Project with all files set to Exclude, but that doesn't help. This is extremely annoying as I have to wait 1-2 seconds for the editor to come back to life.
I know I'm not the only one experiencing this, as Hans Meiser reported same problem here: http://forums.blumentals.net/viewtopic. ... 588#p27365

Re: Bug: Editor constantly hangs with "Not responding"
Have you still got a previous version of WeBuilder on your system, or have you upgraded it?
Do you know which version of WeBuilder you were using previously?

Re: Bug: Editor constantly hangs with "Not responding"
The version that causes the hanging/delay is 15.3.0.205. I always update to latest version, so the last "good" version must be 15.2.0.204
Unfortunately I don't have the 15.2.0.204 anymore. Is there a place I can download the older versions?

Could you please get me some code that does this? I could hit break while it's frozen and see where it's stuck in and find a way to fix it.

If you can reliably reproduce it, let's try to chat in Skype or similarly and find a way to debug this issue.

I can't reproduce the problem at will. It appears once in a while. But it usually happens when you type a parenthesis. And this seems to be the case for others as well.Aivars wrote:Could you please get me some code that does this?

Is there anything I can do next time it appears? Editor hangs with a "Not Responding" so there's no crash. And it comes back to "life" again after a couple seconds.
It doesn't seem to be any specific file that triggers the problem. But I have only experienced it while working on JavaScript files.

This happens in PHP as well. I keep typing and have to go back and make corrections.
Is there anything I can do to help identify the issue? It's rather counterproductive and annoying.

I'm not sure whether you're using the latest version but if you are and you get the freezes, contact us here: https://www.webuilderapp.com/support-contact.php
Say that you're from the forums and we'll give you special version of exe that detects frozen UI and generates bugreports which then we can analyze and figure out what caused the freeze.

Thanks. Am downloading and installing newest version ( thought I had it already ) and will update this thread with results asap.
Re: Bug: Editor constantly hangs with "Not responding"
I got it to hang/crash using the special debug version you provided. Just sent the bugreport data, so lets hope this helps.Aivars wrote:I'm not sure whether you're using the latest version but if you are and you get the freezes, contact us here: https://www.webuilderapp.com/support-contact.php

Re: Bug: Editor constantly hangs with "Not responding"
I push this thread, because after updating to 15.4.0.206 this "hanging" still occurs. And I probably found the culprit: Code Explorer
If the Code Explorer window is active/visible, any faster writing of code causes to hang RapidPHP because of auto-refresh (or something like this). If the Code Explorer window is closed, no hanging is experienced. So I guess there is some bug that stops RapidPHP when Code Explorer auto-refreshes the list.
Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Bug: Editor constantly hangs with "Not responding"
Hans: could you please send me the particular file? I've been working with .php and .js files and Code Explorer is always open to me so it's not common to have any freezes related to it. I suspect it's related to some particular code or constructions or something else that we will try to figure out.
