When running NNI optimization of UFBoot trees under PMSF model, IQ-TREE2 successfully completes the maximum likelihood tree searching steps, but apparently gets stuck afterwards, with the following line being the last thing printed in the log file with no further progress:
Refining ufboot trees with NNI 1 branch...
It doesn't go anywhere for considerable time, much exceeding one could expect from the usually quite fast PMSF model behaviour.
The problem is actual for the 2.3.5 version, but according to this report has also been present in previous versions. I hope there is a way to fix it, otherwise it might be worth banning the combination of PMSF and BNNI with printing the relevant warning.
Dear IQ-Tree team,
When running NNI optimization of UFBoot trees under PMSF model, IQ-TREE2 successfully completes the maximum likelihood tree searching steps, but apparently gets stuck afterwards, with the following line being the last thing printed in the log file with no further progress:

The problem is actual for the 2.3.5 version, but according to this report has also been present in previous versions. I hope there is a way to fix it, otherwise it might be worth banning the combination of PMSF and BNNI with printing the relevant warning.
