Cube IDE is hanging if I right click on the project. This is project specific, not workspace specific

[DiBosco]

I have a project where if I right click on the project in the project explorer, the IDE just hangs. I've tried opening the project in a different workspace, so it's not (I think) a workspace issue. Other workspaces/projects are just fine. Anyone experienced this? Know of a way to fix it? 

v1.16 on Mageia Linux, using KDE, not using Wayland. 

Thanks.

I think this is a really  weird reply. I've been using this IDE in anger for years and never had an issue. All other projects are fine. This is clearly something in the project that's gone south and absolutely nothing to do with the OS. Also, I'm not using v2.1.

There is clearly an issue in Linux with handling graphics consistently across versions, with or without Wayland. Eclipse uses a "platform-independent" graphics backend. If graphics are getting messed up, it's not something that ST implemented, it's either in that graphics backend or Linux.

If you want the program to work consistently, it is best to stick with supported platforms. There are so many Linux versions and so many different ways to configure each of them. It's not realistic to expect them all to be supported.

 

That said, this sounds more like an Eclipse bug than a graphics issue. Probably the project is mangled in some way. I don't recall other reports like this.
