>> The likely cause of this problem is that the file we're trying to create/write to is locked, which probably means the debug app is still running.

As I noted in my original bug report, the IDE status is corrupted.
It -thinks- the app has quit, and the Debug menu enables "Run" (NOT "Resume" and "Kill").

But in fact the debug app is still running. And without the "Kill" menu item, RB can't stop it.

The corrupted IDE is the root of the problem, I believe.

        >> Dismissing the dialog should stop the endless compiling.

Nope. It just keeps happening on each attempt to compile, even through reopening the project file, even through relaunching RB -- until you manually shut down the debug app.

>> That dialog which popups is trying to report an error, unfortunately the string is blank (yes, we need to be fixed that).

Well sure -- but please also fix the REAL underlying problem, which is letting the IDE state get corrupted in the first place. For a demo program see my bug report #afslncli. This affects Windows 98/2000/XP.

Thanks!

Christopher
