I just noticed "Squeak 5.2" in that screenshot. Yes, we fixed that issue in 5.3 and restart all those processes through the release builder. That particular compiled method in the screenshot was apparently very old and out-of-sync with the .sources file.

Ah, so you do not compile code in that method. Hmm...

CMD]+[Dot] interrupt was the first thing I tried.

At this point it is not repeatable so I don't think there is anything I can do other that keep an eye out for it.

the method that is run every hour is setup to run a method to do some work and then spawn a block with an hour delay which runs the method again when the delay elapses.

Hi John-Reed,

can you tell us more about that method your are running every hour?

Syntax errors are as tricky as debuggers. They actually use a debugger internally to interrupt the current (i.e. the compiler's/parser's) control flow and offer interactive means to fix syntax to then continue compilation.

Considering interactive syntax correction, I am not sure whether compilation is safe in processes other than the UI process.

Did you try hitting [CMD]+[Dot] in that case?

Best,
Marcel

What causes a window like this to appear?
Why does it lock up the image?
The problem occurred in an image that was running unattended using #Delay to run a method every hour. The application is in development but it has been running on schedule for a month or so without any problems.

I do save and restart the image occasionally.
