Processing IDE lock-up with Find

Created by: RichardDL99

I'm using Processing 4.2 This has happened to me at least 3 times. I usually have 2 or more sketches open. I regret can't give exact key sequence to make it happen, but it involves ^f or ^g or both. Most of the time they work as expected, but sometimes the IDE locks-up. When this happens sometimes the 'Find' window is there, sometimes not.

When the lock-up happens, I click on every Processing window but can't get the editing cursor to jump to the mouse pointer. Can't close or resize the window with the top right controls. Menu items don't work. Alt-space will produce the menu, but 'Close' doesn't work.

Can't find any escape from the situation except e.g. TaskMgr to kill the process.

Start by investigating Processing 4.2 with two or more sketches open and exercising ^f and ^g, since the exact triggering sequence is unknown. Observe whether the Find window appears and whether the editor, menus, resizing, and closing stop responding. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and preventing the IDE lock-up or documenting a verified fix.
