Hi,
I’ve noticed that the editor seems to freeze up after a certain amount of time. Is there a log file or something I can look at to see what is going on? I am using Linux Mint 18.3.
Tiled Version 1.1.6
Thanks. Love using Tiled!
Unfortunately Tiled does not keep a log file.
I have not heard before about this problem. Did you encounter it with older versions as well, or is this something new?
What kind of freeze is it? If it’s not crashing and starts to consume 100% CPU, you could try to attach a debugger to the process to see where it is getting stuck.
Hi,
It happened again a few days ago and I attached a debugger to see what was going on. Unfortunately since I am using the released version the output isn’t super readable given that there probably aren’t debug symbols in the executable. If you can give me an idea of how I might provide more useful information about this, I am happy to go collect it.
Freeze Information Collected
The app does not crash, it just freezes. It does not consume 100% CPU (actually it consumes 0% while frozen). That is super weird because I would expect 100% CPU usage too when an application freezes.
I followed some instructions online about attaching a debugger to the process. If you have some better steps, I am happy to use them.
Here’s the information I got:

I am not super experienced with debugging problems like this. It looks like I may have to do more than what I did so far because I am probably missing other processes/threads being spawned by Tiled.
