IDE hangs (accessing disk) after file open

[markpotts]

I downloaded and installed Code::Blocks and imported a Visual Studio project. When I opened an existing source file it appeared to open correctly but then started continuous disk access and the IDE locked up (busy). I was concerned it might be trashing my machine so I killed the program. I would appreciate any advice as to whether this is normal behavior and if so what it is doing before I try running the IDE again.

Thanks,
Mark

Does it happen every time you open the project and then open the same file?

I have tried a few times and it always locks up accessing disk when I open (and click in) any of the source files. I am running Windows Vista with 8G of RAM so it is not paging (Task Manager shows 59% physical memory used). Whatever is happening is blocking the GUI message thread, which is not good design.

I will try creating a new project and adding the source files directly. Maybe the import (from Visual Studio 2008) is causing the problem. However this is one reason I wanted to use Code::Blocks.

Can you try to disable the Code Completion plugin?
Does it happen with a hello world kind of project created by the wizard?
What compiler are you using in you project?
And of course what version of C::B, compiler, etc are you using?

Can you provide a minimal project to reproduce? I.e. the VS project?

I created a new project, added the source code and compiled correctly. This is fine for now as my project configurations are pretty simple.

Thanks,
