Locked-up workbench: ctrl-C doesnt work [message #59516] Thu, 27 March 2008 20:37

More than half a dozen times today my students managed to
irretrievably hang the IDL workbench.
They were running a while loop within their program.
No syntax error was issued, but when they ran the program it would not
execute.
And the idl command-line prompt went grey.

ctrl-c did not get them out of this state
reset perspective did not get them out of this locked-up state

I wish I could give you more hints, but its unclear what is causing
this problem.
It is not an infinite loop.

Out of desperation they killed the workbench entirely by clicking on
the little close x for the window.
And then went to Windows XP task manager and killed the idl task.

Has anyone else noted this problem?
Is there another method of getting IDL out of a locked-up state?


Thanks,
Elisha
