Re: [Pharo-users] Infinite loop is not stopped by Cmd+.

I could reproduce it.
Myabe I am saying something stupid, but didn't Cmd+. depends on the process priority?
I mean, if the loop was caused by a Process with higher priority than Cmd+. then it cannot be interrupted.

can someone help?

cheers

probably the loop was too tight and the system did not get a chance to react.
This is not the right behavior but not clear how to change it.

InputFetcher runs at 60, UI at 40.
Only if infinite loop was in process with pri >= 60 should this possibly
happen.
It works on windows in 1.1.1 and 1.2core, which platform did you test on?
