[ BUILD # : 201003290201 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.* ] If, for any reason, the UIGestures files exist but cannot be opened (permission issues, etc...), the IDE becomes unresponsive, pegs the CPU at 100% and begins a very tight infinite loop attempting to open the file. To Reproduce: 1) Close any open IDEs 2) Change ownership of the UI Gestures file (dev/log/uigestures) such that your user cannot open it. You could also open the IDE as root by accident. 3) If you opened the IDE as root, close it and return to your login user. 4) Launch the IDE as yourself (where you don't have permissions to the uigestures file).
Based on the behavior here, it appears that this may be a problem with the automated exception handler where if an exception occurs, it tries to fire off an exception which requires the uigestures which generates an exception which goes round-and-round.
