Hi Ralph I generally experience IDE hang when exiting in all versions of LC 9.x i have used so far (using a Mac however). I haven’t had time to delve into figuring out a recipe I could report as a bug. I just force quit and relaunched LiveCode. That is just part of my work flow now. Sometimes it does quit with no hang. Some things I have tried is closing the script editor, or close and remove from memory before quitting. I still don’t get consistent results from this though.
It happens with various stacks I work on from simple to complex. I thought it may be an extension I have installed that ties up the IDE during the quitting process. I plan one day to remove all extensions to a bare minimum and see if it still happens. Interesting idea about the breakpoint. Is it a ‘red dot’ soft breakpoint or hard coded ‘breakpoint’ in a line of the script? The behaviour of the soft breakpoints I have found inconsistent. Sometimes they don’t trigger unless I have the script open for at least the first breakpoint I want to trigger. Again I have never really tried to get to the cause, just did workarounds. I probably have way to many breakpoints left sitting around. Maybe I should just delete all breakpoints and start fresh. Thanks for the idea. Maybe that will solve the other problem I am having with the DataGrid.
