jEdit freezes when trying to open a file
Submitted by on Tuesday, 19 September, 2006 - 19:38
I'm using jEdit 4.2final on Windows XP Pro. I have been using it for awhile now and yesterday, 09/18/2006, I encountered this situation. I clicked on File/Open and the main window loses focus but I don't see the Open Dialog on either of my two monitors. When I bring up Task Manager all I see is the main jEdit app running. If I hit Escape the main window receives focus and I can click on all other menu items with no problem. If I open the Processes tab, all I see is the jEdit process running, nothing else related. If I try to stop jEdit I see this message:
"The system cannot end this program because it is waiting for a response from you"
It looks to me like the jEdit app thinks the Open Dialog window is loaded. I'm thinking the dialog has been opened behind the main app but I can't figure out how to make it appear.
I have no ideas on what the solution is for this problem. I've tried just about everything to resolve this all to no avail. I have even uninstalled jEdit 4.2 and reinstalled it and the same thing happens.
I would really appreciate it if anyone has encountered this and has a resolution would pass it on?
Thank you;
