What to do if IDE gets stuck "Resizing..."

[manstersoft]

It's happened to me twice now where if I resize the IDE by dragging the edges the IDE freezes with message "Resizing..." in the message area (no idea how to replicate the bug).

The first time I opened Task Manager, went to processes, and ended the QB64 Task. When I reopened the .bas I was not prompted to recover data, so I lost everything since my last save. No combination of ctrl+z'ing or opening other windows helped.

The second time I did a hard shutdown (hold the power button on your PC for 10 seconds). After rebooting and opening the .bas QB64 prompted me if I wanted to recover my data. The auto-save worked.

I couldn't find any info online, so just posting this in case it happens to someone else.

Hi. What version of QB64 on what OS?

[manstersoft]

Woops, forgot to mention OS.

Win10 Pro 64-Bit
QB64 1.4 Stable

Just in case it's something that's already been tackled, would you mind trying to reproduce it using the dev build? https://www.qb64.org/portal/development-build/

I know you've already mentioned it's hard to reproduce, but any insight into the process is already helpful.

I'm not able to reproduce it, but it might be something on my end. I do have my QB64 folder synced to a cloud, so one of the files updating in conjunction with resizing the window might screw it up. I usually pause it, but sometimes I forget.

My post was less a bug report and more a "If this happens to you here's what you can do".

It makes sense that QB64 trying to store the new window dimensions and your cloud sync locking the file might end up conflicting.
