I have seen times where saving a stack took an excessively long time to finish. I assumed that LC was doing some kind of high priority housekeeping. I have been using 6.7.6 since it came out. Bob S On Nov 6, 2015, at 10:24 , Dr. Hawkins mailto:doch...@gmail.com>> wrote: On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 a

I have actually seen this myself once whilst running in debug mode from source, and I think it was stuck in a 'TryToEvaluate' loop for some reason - I think it can be stopped by doing Cmd + . although that might not be the same thing. Anyway, It's worth filing a bug report if there isn't one alrea

I was under the impression that very long scripts take some time to compile. If this has been addressed and this was no longer the case, I am very surprised and curious how they managed that. It would mean that scripts are now indexed somehow so only the relevant parts of the scripts are recompi
