Hello all. Starting with 2023 R4 (and continuing with the latest pre-release build), I am experiencing a disrupting behavior with Xojo (and Xojo only). When I select code or try to open a webpage in the IDE, Xojo seems to lose track of things. It starts to flicker wildly, and is unresponsive all the while. I can stop that behavior by clicking the mouse outside of the Xojo screen. Notice in the attached video that I select the item pgCompetition, Xojo goes crazy, I click outside to shift the OS focus elsewhere, and Xojo ends up placing focus on a different item than selected (Resources).edit: no. an mp4 file cannot be uploaded to the forum… This is random, it could have been something else. The same thing happens when selecting code. It goes crazy, I click outside of the Xojo IDE, and some other code is selected. This usually happens after working for some time. If I close Xojo and restart it, it generally works fine for a short while. But not always. If the UIstate has Xojo on an open webpage (not code), Xojo will often remain unresponsive. A restart of the IDE is necessary. On the second or third retry, it starts fine.
The computer is a Core I7 10th gen running Windows 11 23R2. 32 GB RAM, a dedicated 1 TB SSD for development. The video adapter is a GTX 1660 (I don’t need the horsepower, but it does have connectors for my 3 screens…)
I checked the usual: video driver uninstall and reinstall (new release), mouse driver reinstall (tested with a different mouse also), chkdsk, dism. I ran memtest86 from a CD. Only the quicker test, though. I did not find anything wrong with the PC. Which does not mean nothing is wrong with it… So the question is, Am I the only one with this issue? if so, then it is likely an issue with my computer that I have not yet found. If not then suppose that a feedback ticket is the next step. At the moment, I have a short list of working hypotheses: A Windows update broke something. Xojo introduced a new bug with the 2023R4 optimizations. My PC is sick somehow.
Regardless, any suggestion to uncover the root cause is welcome!
Thanks. LD
