Holá List,
Yes, we all love RR and work 24 hours a day with this nice tool, but if we want to finish, RR should accept this. Not here: if I try to finish RR by klicking the "X" (Close) Button nothing happends. I don't talk about my application, I talk about RR itself.
Have to use the Task-Manager to kill the process.
I'm found that on 2.7.4 under W2k and W-XP
Any ideas?
best regardws and have a nice time
Horst
Can´t abort RR by the "X" key

Hello inselfan,
I find that I usually only have that problem with a runaway repeat command. In that case, pressing CTRL + "." will stop the repeat.
Also, when that happens, there is the possibility that you have a hidden modal box that is hanging everything up, so it's usually worth checking the lower Revolution menubar to see if something modal is stuck there and waiting for you to press its "Cancel" button.
Hope that helps, deeverd

Hi Inselfan,
This evening, I had a case where the Rev IDE went totally irresponsive after ussueing a wait command, something like: wait until 2+2=5 with messages.
Is it possible that a script is running while you are notaware of it, waiting for a condition to be satisfied, which never happens?
It is also possible that, as Deeverd writes, a repeat loop causes a similar effect: repeat forever with messages, repeat until (2+2=5) with messages.
Best,
Mark

Hola Horst,
I'm only guessing here what might be wrong but this is what I would first try:
If you are using a Windows system, press control+alt+delete to open the task manager. Press the "Task List" tab to see what's running. If you see Revolution in there anywhere, close it from the task manager.
Something that happens fairly often to me is that if I close a stack that had an error in it, Revolution won't close properly, and then won't reopen again the next time I double-click on the desktop icon... until I close it through the Task List.
Hopefully that's the problem. Cheers, deeverd
