Ha! You're right! That's *exactly* what's going on. Setting the environment variable was not what fixed my problem. What fixed my problem is that I've been using breakpoints that didn't happen to trigger while a combobox is open. When I set a breakpoint that does trigger while a combobox is open, I get the freeze again.
