[ jEdit-users ] jEdit gets stuck in I/O loop (maybe)

[Jim B. <jf_...@co...>]

Ubuntu 10.04
jEdit 4.4.1
java 1.6.0_26_b03
BufferTabs 1.2.1

I upgraded to jEdit 4.4.1 a couple of weeks ago. I've only had this 
happen since the upgrade, never before it.

I was editing a small java file. I saved it and clicked on an open 
terminal window, hit the up arrow key to call up my compile command. 
When I looked back at jEdit, the edit window was blank and the buffer 
tab said "untitled". I dragged and dropped the file I had been working 
on from my file manager to the edit window.  The buffer tab showed the 
file name, but the edit window remained blank. Looking at the status bar 
I saw the message: "I/O 1 operation in progress". At this point jEdit 
was unresponsive.  I could not type in the edit window and clicking the 
x in the title bar would not close jEdit.  I ended up using Ubuntu's 
System Monitor to end the java process to get jEdit to close.

When I reopened jEdit it looked like no info from the current session 
had been saved.  jEdit displayed the file I had been working with in a 
previous session. The file I had been working on currently was saved 
with all of its changes, but it was not loaded when I restarted jEdit.

This has happened twice now but I can't reproduce it on demand.
