Surprise!!!!!
RDI 9.5 has CRASHED YET AGAIN!!!!!!!! Could not make it past 24-hours!
The Famous "NOT RESPONDING"....
I am still perplexed how RDI "supposedly saves time" and "Increases Programmer Productivity"
<Perplexed Sad Face>
I have to admit that I turned on Update of outline to get the search feature in outline view. But, I basically had NO PROBLEMS with WDSC 6.0 & 7.0, when I did NOT use the OUTLINE View. Maybe, that is what I need to do is STOP USING OUTLINE View, because that seems to BITE ME every @#$!@$#!@#$!@#$ TIME! <Junkware!> :(
I will send more information to IBM Picture of the crash, picture of my active jobs, my ".log" file. Which will be a "Waste of time", since they will probably say it is my PC, my environment, or the user. Funny, how ONLY RDI crashes. Nothing else crashes.
I guess I need to use Option #5) Goto back to previous "semi-stable" release RDi 9.1.1.1
I guess IBM waves the "Fluff-Candy" in front of me, like outline view. And tells me how great it is, and then it causes the environment to crash. I *assume* that caused the crash, don't know. I have work to complete, not play "BETA-TESTER" for IBM Junkware!!!
I will create a @#$!@#$@!#$@ NEW WORKSPACE, and LEAVE the #@$!#$!@#$!@#$ "Update Outline view" @!#$!@#$!# OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
PS. RDI 9.5 "Find String" was NOT WORKING, and I was trying to get a screen shot to open a new PMR to report that issue. Apparently the new search feature does not like to search comment lines. So it continues with JUNKWARE...

Buck,
In regards to you suggestions:
1) Find out what it is about your environment that's killing RDi --> WISH I COULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Stop using RDi
You left out choice "3.)" Create new workspace, when I get the "Non Responding", a.k.a. "Milky-White-Screen-Of-Death". <LOL>
I guess I will see how that works for me! At least I can import the key-settings & RSE UI. The other settings I have to do manually.
I will start the count down, to see how long it takes until I get the "Non Responding" again... <Evil Smirk>
Whatever works...
I prefer option 4.) IBM fixes RDI so that NO ONE gets the "Not Responding" memory leak.
PS. Once in a while I get the "Milky-White-Screen" on Microsoft products. But, I just wait a few seconds, and it catches up! I have let RDI wait 1-hour or more, and it still does not catch up like Microsoft products. <Just saying>
RDI is the ONLY SOFTWARE that locks up on me. It is the most used software on my PC. <smirk>

RDI... <Puzzled-Look>
And I've seen it maybe once since the OS/2 days. This strongly points to something in your environment, something that you run on your PC that I don't run on mine. And something that the lab doesn't run on theirs.
That's no consolation: clearly you need to run RDi at work, so what can you do? If I were faced with this problem, I'd almost certainly switch to an editor / IDE that didn't require me to kill it with Task Manager.
The only other real option is to change your environment. Assume your IT people are interested in helping, get a PC / laptop that has a clean install of Windows. No antivirus, no firewall, no groupware integrations, no nothing except the clean install of Windows. Have the IT people allow you to one IP address: the IBM i machine. You only use this PC to edit code, and no one else is using the subnet that you're on. The goal is to make the most absolute vanilla environment that is humanly possible. Now load RDi and start using it.
If, as I suspect, you don't have any issues with RDi going non-responding, you will have proved to yourself and to your company that there's something going on in their environment. But what is it?
Now is where it starts to get time consuming.
Add one thing from the work environment - I'd start with the antivirus - and try it again. Keep adding things from the work environment one at a time until it fails, and when it does, you'll be able to report that the combination of X, and Y, and Z cause RDi to go off the reservation.
That's a lot of work, and it requires the willing assistance from the IT group who maintain your PC and network. But it's becoming clearer every time you post that you face stark choices:
1) Find out what it is about your environment that's killing RDi
2) Stop using RDi
Good luck my friend. If I were in your shoes I'd be using Code/400.
No, it can't syntax check modern code but neither can SEU. And despite being obsolete by a decade, Code/400 is light-years beyond SEU.
