Black screen when running experiments in the same process using psychopy #700

Open MichlF opened 4 years ago

MichlF commented 4 years ago

Whenever I run an experiment with "Running experiments" under preferences on "Run experiment in the same process (inprocess)", the Open Sesame window turns black and does not return to normal when the experiment is interrupted (by pressing ESC or when an error occurs). This forces me to forcefully close the program and restart, making debugging impossible.

This occurs exclusively when using the psychopy (or psychopy legacy) backend and can furthermore be fixed by either using the multiprocess or external process setting.

I am using Open Sesame 3.3.3, Win10 and the Opensesame installation via Anaconda distribution.
