I did following: 1. Got current external editor (from CVS). 2. Compiled it&installed into the IDE. 3. Setup wizard came up. I choosed VIM 4. Dialog about waiting for connection appeared. 5. Closed (using Cancel), because I did not find how to connect to vim. 6. Opened the setup wizard again, choosed VIM again. 7. Tried to open a file. 8. Whole IDE is frozen, probably till a connection is established. I consider this not to be nice. The user should always have a possibility to escape. Maybe there is some timeout, but I wait for a while and the IDE was still frozen. The IDE was 200205020100. Attaching a thread dump to see where the waiting was performed.
Created attachment 5623 [details] Thread dump while waiting.
Melih's looking into it.
