Re: RDI 9.0 freeze and work-around

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have experienced this too.  It seems to occur after I open a DSPF with 
the Screen Design editor.  Even if I close the Screen Designer and use 
the LPEX editor it continues to drag.  If I completely close RDi, wait a 
few minutes, and then open RDi again, it works normally.  That seems to 
be the case even if I then open a DSPF with the LPEX editor.  I haven't 
done this enough to state emphatically that that is the case, but so far 
it seems to be true.

> I have found another issue where RDI 9.0 freezes. Mine consistently freezes when I am in a DSPF source file. It seems to happen mostly when I am in LPEX editor mode, and not Screen Designer mode. My work seems to always be saved, but because it freezes, I am never sure. When it freezes, I get the windows circle (the "new" hourglass), and it never recovers. When I click on the red X to completely close the window, I get a java error screen.
