IDE doesn't terminate

[mikep]

The IDE is now much more stable because of the fixes discussed in this thread: http://www.zbasic.net/forum/about532.html.

However there is still a latent problem that sometimes the IDE task does not fully terminate when I close the window. This causes a problem later when starting another IDE instance and it cannot open the serial port. I have to use the task manager to kill the IDE task.

I have not debugged the problem further and I wonder if other people are seeing this problem (Windows XP SP2).

I've been working with it tonight and haven't noticed that, Mike.

[T]he IDE task does not fully terminate when I close the window.

What method do you use to terminate the application? For example, do you double-click the icon on the menu bar, click the "close" button on the menu bar, select "Close" from the File menu, select "Close" from the right-click menu, etc. The problem may also be dependent on what you did prior to closing, e.g. compile, download, etc.

I have occasionally seen multiple copies of ZBasicIDE.exe in the task list but it usually occurs after I've been using the MSVC debugger to execute ZBasicIDE.exe. So far, I've not been able to divine a recipe for making it happen.

It is definitely an intermittent problem. I always use the "big red X" to close a window.

I haven't encountered this issue; I also usually just close the IDE with the "X". Does any delay allow the OS to eventually fix the problem, or is it terminal until a reboot or task kill?

From what I've seen, the extra processes remain until they are killed via the Task Manager.
