Hi Bib,

WSJT-X v1.2.2 r3659 on 64-bit Windows 7

Left the application open / running on my system overnight with rig tuned to 7.076 MHz. Found it hung / Not Responding this morning when I looked at the system. No other applications (other than what normally runs in the background) were open at the time.

The last decode was 05:02Z and the waterfall shows probably the full 48 seconds of 05:03Z (but no decodes) when it hung. It created a 140126_0503.wav file but size is zero.

Task manager shows:

wsjt.exe 39,216 K

jt9.exe 3,176 K

Killed the JT9 process -- main program still hung. Attempting to close (red X window control) either the main WSJT-X or Wide Graph window didn't end the program -- had to choose "close the program".

There has been an obscure bug reported for Qt v5 that causes program freezes on some setups when a screen saver or login screen kicks in. One known symptom is that it only affects the program that has focus. If you regularly leave WSJT-X running unattended; you could try minimizing it (main window & waterfall) and see if the freeze still occurs. It may also be possible to reproduce it on demand by typing CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the login/task-manager screen.

Restarted the program and works just fine.

Not sure if attachments are allowed on this list -- I have a couple of screen shots -- I'll try to attach them as a reply to this message to keep it in the same thread once this makes it to the list.
