KLayout 0.29.4 is not responding #1856

Closed olisnr closed 2 months ago

olisnr commented 2 months ago

from time to time i have an "KLayout 0.29.4 is not responding" dialog, and need to end the process. i cant reproduce it, because i didnt know what hotkey i was pressing by mistake. but now i only wanted to close the layouts, after experimenting with the scripts of iHPs openPDK. i got an error message in the terminal:

Please try with the latest version first.

Please also provide information about your system.

The warning is strange, but "application not responding" can happen while you're running some lengthy operation. Consider running scripts in batch mode if they are long-runners. KLayout is mostly still a single-threaded application and will show "application not responding" if the main thread is blocked.

I don't think logging will help a lot. I just mentioned the latest version as it is worth checking if there is a bug that was fixed.

Maybe there is one thing that is worth checking: on some platforms, the application will hang in the way you noticed when you close the application while the properties dialog is open (https://github.com/KLayout/klayout/issues/1857).
