Often it is when I'm editing code, but it also happens sometimes when accessing menus or during program execution. I see this on more than one machine, but the problem is completely non-reproducible. Sometimes a session runs for hours, sometimes only for minutes.

Yes all the time. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. In my case it is 100% reproduceable. In the main IDL program I maintain it has code like this scattered around the place:
CATCH, errorNum
IF (errorNum NE 0) THEN BEGIN
CATCH, /Cancel
HELP, /Last_Message, Output = lastError
v = DIALOG_MESSAGE(LastError)
Error = LastError[0]
RETURN
ENDIF
So while I'm working on updates if I hit an error a popup comes up telling me where the error is. The problem is if I leave this popup open and start using the IDE to edit files etc it will freeze, sometimes it doesnt freeze right away but it will always freeze eventually. No that you remind me a think I will finally create a test program and submit a bug report for this.
