Thread: PgAdmin locked up
Hi All, I am really desperate for some help. PgAdmin is locked up on me. I had highlighted some text in a SQL window and when i mistakenly clicked on the highlighted text the cursor changed to something like a plus sign under an inverted L. sort of like this__ |+ Now I can't do anything! I really hate the idea of switching to a terminal and killing pgadmin. What is this and how can I get out? Kind Regards, Keith

We've seen reports of this some versions of Ubuntu - see http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-05/msg00897.php for a quick 'get-out'. It would appear to be a bug in the version of wxWidgets shipped with Ubuntu - see http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2006-05/msg00900.php. Regards, Dave.

Unfortunately I seem to be completely locked up. Is there a temp file somewhere that I can salvage my queries from? I have never looked before but I assume that when I kill pgadmin then my SQL will be gone. Is there a way to kill a specific SQL window and not all of pgadmin? Kind Regards, Keith

Sorry, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Your only chance might be the pgAdmin or server logfiles if you've executed your queries and have statement logging turned on on either. Incidently - is this Ubuntu? Regards, Dave.

Dave, I do not know. I compiled it myself (with your help actually) the end of March.Here is what I can tell you. If you wouldlike more then just ask. You might need to tell me where to look. ;-) If there is a way to fix this issue please let me know. I used to get bit by it regularly. That is why I went through the pain of compiling the latest pgadmin.I had thought until today that the bug wasgone. Now with the fresh sting of a days worth of troubleshooting SQL lost I am off to save all my keystrokes. :-( pgAdmin3 1.4.2 wxGTK 2.6.2 Kind Regards, Keith

The stuff I lost wasn't critical but it was two days worth of queries written while toubleshooting an anomoly. :-( Kind Regards, Keith Worthington President Narrow Path, Inc. 520 Trumbull Highway Lebanon, CT 06249-1424 Telephone: (860) 642-7114 Facsimile: (860) 237-8468 Mobile: (860) 608-6101
