Yes, EiffelStudio becoming unresponsive is a side effect of debugging because the application is crashing. However it stays unresponsive forever. The Task Manager says "Not responding". I managed to reproduce the problem. I occurs with: 16.05.9.8969 vs14 and vs12 16.05.9.8814 vs14 15.08.9.7862 vs12 So this bug is not new. So it's not so critical for us. Before sending you our W_code, I'll try to reproduce it with a program which does not contain proprietary code. -- Eric Bezault
