1. Have a tail -f <somefile> running in a terminal - it sits waiting for data 2. Start FryskGui 3. Start a debugger session for that tail process 4. Select View->Memory Window (won't come up - see Bugzilla #4584) 5. Select 'Continue Execution' icon 6. Select 'Stop Execution' icon ... and the window gets all shaded, nothing is useable (or responsive). Cannot Ctrl-C FryskGui, cannot Ctrl-C the tail process. However, Ctrl-Z + kill does work to get rid of FryskGui (and releases the hang of the tail of course).
Moving this back to 'critical'. Given that it causes frysk to hang, I consider it a critical problem that needs fairly urgent attention. I'm assigning it to myself, since I'll be committing the fix for this. Please leave it at 'critical'.
Kris, the critical field is not used by frysk. I appreciate your efforts to getting it fixed.
I would appreciate it if you would actually talk to me before changing significant fields on a bugzilla ticket. The conclusion of our much-too-lengthy discussion on #frysk was *not* that you could just change the severity on this ticket at your whim. Perhaps frysk does not use 'critical' but I do. For your information, there is no rule to be found on the frysk bugzilla FAQ concerning not being allowed to use 'critical'. Until e.g. http://sourceware.org/frysk/bugzilla/index.html#faq states the rules you desire to dictate upon developers in how to use bugzilla, I would appreciate it if you would respect people's way of working with bugzilla. This was in my book a critical bug and given that it was reported by me, assigned to me, worked on by me, and resolved by me, I do believe I have the right (at this point in time) to make a decision about whether I consider this bug critical or not.
