Potential data races in `TestCaseDisplayService.returnOriginalEditorBackground` #276
Describe the bug
The method has the following implementation:
private fun returnOriginalEditorBackground(editor: EditorTextField) {
Thread {
Thread.sleep(10000)
editor.background = defaultEditorColor // <- non-atomic + no mutex lock
}.start()
}
The editor.background is not atomic or covered with a mutex lock before the modification. There is room for data races here, which may not manifest themselves due to a lack of thread contention.
[ChatGPT]: Accessing and modifying UI components from a background thread can cause thread safety issues. In many GUI frameworks, UI components should only be accessed and modified from the main (UI) thread. Modifying them from a background thread can lead to race conditions, crashes, or undefined behavior.
Expected behavior
No space for the data race must be available.
