Re: Re: Computer freezes when moving horizontal scroll bar in describe window and datagrid?

I don't think it's related to the lockups but there was definitely a problem with toad regaining focus after a describe window was closed. That problem is fixed for next beta

I've just had what I think is a similar issue - I had the audacity to close a describe window, and Toad froze up. It was showing up as 25% CPU (I've the equivalent of 4 CPUs, so this has taken one of them to 100%).

As it happened 5 mins before hometime, I left it going in the hopes that Toad would come back to itself ok by morning, but no dice.

If you've only got one CPU on the machine, I could easily see this issue causing the whole pc to lock up.

Unfortunately the entire computer freezes...the only thing that works is the off button. Toad was the only application I had open at least a couple of times. I know what you mean though--when a virus scan starts on my computer, I either have to kill it or forget using Toad.

I'll give it a try. Thanks. On 10/13/2011 9:59 AM, Mark Lerch wrote: I've seen pretty odd behavior over the years with things like Windows Themes, Large/Small Fonts and so forth.

No, nothing atypical, just regular fairly small datagrids and column lists. No, I can't do process explorer because the computer is totally frozen. I doubt it has anything to do with Toad if no one else is having this issue. Hardware support changed my video cards because I kept getting a 'blue screen of death'...not sure this is an improvement.

When this happens can you bring up Process Explorer to see if the Toad process is spiked?

I'd probably see the humor if my computer didn't keep freezing...6 times now and only in Toad. Video driver? On 10/12/2011 4:46 PM, Mark Lerch wrote: This was intended as a jest, by the way, maybe it was too subtle : )

Hi, I just upgraded to 11.0.0.116. I don't know if this is a Toad problem or not... 3 times in the last 2 days, my computer has frozen when moving a horizontal scroll bar in Toad...twice in a describe window and once in a datagrid in the editor. Frozen like in nothing works...mouse won't move, alt-tab and alt-ctrl-del don't work....nadda. I have to turn my machine off and back on. It doesn't happen every time I move the scroll bar.
