This seems quite readily reproducible. 80% of the time, using alt-tab to task away from a shoes app or back to it causes an immediate crash offering to send microsoft an error report. 10% of the time it misbehaves for a short period before crashing (window refusing to come up, no system menu on right click in taskbar, or window draws as all white). and another 10% of the time the task switch succeeds. Switching tasks via the mouse (clicking visible windows, clicking taskbar buttons, etc) does not ever appear to trigger this bug.
The ways in which I have launched shoes thus far include: selecting from the start menu shortcut and choosing "Open an App", and invoking shoes via cygwin from the same PWD as the source file, with a command like this: je...@laputa:/home/Jesse/dev/project/ (long-assed cygwin prompt, yo!)> /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Common\ Files/Shoes/0.r1134/shoes.exe shoesapp.rb The behavior is the same either way. It looks like when I invoke via cygwin command line, a console prompt does come up AFTER the crash however (and after the MS error report offer) complaining that the source file cannot be found, triggered at lib/shoes.rb line 393. I just tested, and that console window is also susceptible to the bug, which if invoked spawns another console window with an identical complaint. Closing a shoes app normally appears to cause no trouble. Is anyone else seeing this, or are there further troubleshooting steps I might perform? Note that I'm not clear where to file bug reports since the move to github (would love to be pointed the right way though, thankies!) and I've lost all of my awexome "can compile shoes" prowess at the same time. (this aggravated by my hiatus working with shoes ;) I have git in cygwin and I think I know how it works, and I still have "Windows DDK 3790.1830" installed, but I don't know if that's still the soup du jour nor do I recall how the blasted thing works. ;3 Thanks juys! :D - - Jesse
