Synopsis: Interrupting estudio results in Uncaught Exception window as well as Internal Error window

Description
Start estudio using "estudio" (in foreground) - not via "ec -gui".
When initial project load window comes up, type control-C.  In addition
to the expected Internal Error window, a second window titled
Uncaught Exception: Interrupt also appears.  I suspect this second window
is from the estudio launcher process.  It should either display nothing
(which might be problematic if it has a problem launching "ec") or
something besides the default error window.  Perhaps it shouldn't display
anything if it has already successfully started "ec".  Maybe this needs
more thought.

Although non-critical, this is rather confusing to a user, who sees two
error windows.

Yes, estudio and "ec -gui" now seem to behave the same.  The first control-C
results in an Internal EiffelStudio Exception window, as expected.  A second
control-C then results in an Uncaught Exception window (for either estudio or
"ec -gui").  So the behavior is consistent, but seeing an Uncaught Exception
window makes me think that something is amiss.  If this is the intended
behavior (or if it is not the intended behavior but you don't think you can
improve this any further), feel free to close this report.

The previous fix ensures that estudio does not raise an exception dialog. Now the behavior is the same as that using "ec -gui".

I don't see any improved behavior in rev 81438.  Typing a control-C brings up 
the Internal Estudio Exception window, as expected.  Typing a 2nd 
control-C while this window is displayed still brings up a second window with
title Uncaught Exception: Interrupt.

Reopening report.

This has been improved in rev#80952. The fix will be available in next 6.5 intermediate release. Thank you for the report.

The behavior of this has improved (I'm using 6.4.78212).  Typing control-C
normally no longer displays an Uncaught Exception window.  However, if one
types control-C in the window from which estudio was started and then types
a second control-C after the Internal EiffelStudio Exception window is
displayed, then an Uncaught Exception window is displayed.  So there is still
a small bug here.
