Has this happened to any one else? Sometimes when I start the editor (perhaps 1 out of 100 times) it will flash rapidly between the default size and the size I set it to previously perhaps 20 or so times and just give up and return to the default size.
I believe I've noticed a pattern to this as well. If I set the size manually using values in the editor I don't believe I've ever noticed this behavior when I restart the editor. However, if I resize the editor using the mouse by dragging the sides or corners then upon restart this behavior may happen.
By the way this is happening in version 1.3. I have not moved everything fully over to 1.4 yet which may have had this issue resolved.

I run with 64 bit Linux Mint and used to have an editor problem when starting. The editor would start for a moment then quit. Sometimes it would happen a couple of times before starting correctly. Since changing to 1.4 I have not had a problem. I don't know if this example relates to your issue or not. Your post just reminded me of the problem I had.

Yes, my Mint machines do that on occasion as well. I don't have any of those updated to 1.4. When I do I'll see if that behavior goes away for me as well.
Curiously I have a Windows 7 laptop (HP nx7400) that the editor refuses to start on. When I look in task manager QB64 is shown using 50% of the processor seemingly in an endless loop. The only way to stop is to end task. Again, have not tried 1.4 yet on that machine.

Issue is known but wasn't tackled before v1.4 was released. I have pushed a fix into the repo 5 days (https://github.com/QB64Team/qb64/commit/dcaadfba2135cef557215f0a3deb8cf860a1126b) ago that should get it solved (it worked on macOS). Please try the latest development build and let me know if it goes away.

Excellent. Love how you are always on top of issues with QB64. Thank you :-)

This one, though, sounds like a graphic card issue.

I thought so too. I uninstalled and reinstalled the video driver a few times and even used the default M$ drivers but the same thing kept happening. It was a fresh install of Windows 7 with all the updates having been completed. I purchased the nx7400 used a few months ago because it's the same model I purchased for my students many years ago to take QB64 home with them to work on projects, so I knew QB64 ran well on it. Just before I left I believe I had updated them to version 1.2 with no issues.
I'll try the latest version and let you know.
