Intermittent hang on calendar pop-up

[andyh]

Around 40% of the time that I use the pop-up calendar to enter a field value the calendar will not appear and PSD hangs.

Windows Task Manager shows that no CPU is being used and reports the status as 'Not Responding'.

I can close PSD from the Task Bar using right-click close.

Can you upgrade to PL/SQL Developer 7.0.1? Version 7.0.0 had a resource bug that might cause this.

Hi,

I have same behavior since pl 7.1, now with pl 8 I got again the calendar that hang when pressing the calendar arrow in the grid.

Does not do it all the time, but the last 2 times I was trying to update a table using (for update) statement.
I have paste 300 records, and I wanted to change a date of one of the record before doing the post/commit button.
I have to kill instance of plsql does not come back.

Thanks ! Merci !

I get this as well. I am now on Windows 7 PL/SQL 8.0.0.1483.

I also had it with PL/SQL 7 on Windows XP. I specifically upgraded to 8 to address this problem as it is v. annoying.

Unfortuantely, it's still happening in v8.

any chance you can sort this out?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Unfortunately we have not yet been able to reproduce this. We have added some diagnostics for 8.0.1 though, which may help us find the cause of the problem.

 

[DLGL]

Thanks Marco.

Hi,

I got it again with version 8.0.1.1502,

Is there some diagnostics I can send you ?

Can you modify the shortcut and add the debugsql parameter? For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" debugsql

When the error happens again, send me the debug.txt file that is generated in the PL/SQL Developer directory.

 

[DLGL]

I'll give a try, but I guess that file will become big before I catch the problem ?.

Serge

 

[Marco Kalter]

Yes. Instead of DebugSQL you can use the Debug parameter. This will limit the file size somewhat.

 

[DLGL]

Ok, I created 2 shortcuts, I will try to remember to use the

We are experiencing this problem as well...

Hi,

I had the bug again, using latest version of Pl/SQL developer.
I will send the debug.txt to support email.

Thanks.

I have experienced this issue as well with the new version.

I am also seeing this problem. PL/SQL Developer just dies and I have to force close it every time.
