Yes, the little two windows button. gretl version 2017e-git, 64bit english
But I cannot reproduce it at will... I guess it is not something
that happens with normal usage. I changed a lot in many scripts and
rerun them and had very long output windows (using debug 2). Also,
as Sven mentioned, I had two instances open. I will keep an eye on
it and try to reproduce it, the next time and report back.
Thanks. I wonder if you noticed: when this happens, does the crash
occur when you click the windows button, or when you select the
particular window to raise from the popup menu?
Anyway, in git and snapshots I've now modified the code that stands
behind that menu in a way that hopefully should make it safer. I can't
verify that this is an improvement, however, since I couldn't provoke
a crash with the old code.
