Change Layout Locks up (9.6 Beta 1)
If I try to change to a saved Layout, Logos locks up good and tight.
I hope that despite the fact that I had to shut down the program with Windows Task Manager, the necessary diagnostic information is available in the log files.

I've had the same experience. Attached are my logs from this morning.
(I also experienced this when opening a collection I wanted to update - not in these log files.)

I was skeptical, tried it and Logos locked up tighter than a Small Group hug.

GaoLu, I love your description, but I was thinking more of a tight strangle hold on my sermon prep.

Not having this problem, so it's not universal.

It is intermittent.

It has happened with a couple layouts I use a lot. Maybe something common to both layouts (and some others). But other times I use those layouts and I don't have a problem. Hopefully the logs will help Faithlife narrow it down - I haven't figured it out. May be related to one of the background processes they worked on recently.

I am also experiencing this. You might have already discovered the workaround for now is to click the 'Clear all panels' button in between changes.
I should also add that some type of Windows update (probably from 6/8/21) applied yesterday. The major version is 2004; OS Build 19041-1052; Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0.
By the way, when it does work, it seems to be much faster now on our old kitchen desk notebook (HP, i3, 8GB, non-SSD).

Thanks for sharing this, everyone. For a hang, we need to get additional logging.
- On Windows, please use this tool: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015775591-Report-a-Problem-Performance-Windows
- On Mac, use the "Sample" button in the Mac Logging Utility: https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027869132-How-to-Enable-and-Submit-Log-Files

Here is a screenshot. It shows part of the previous layout, and freezes.
After that I've got 9.6 Beta 2 and the problem stays.
It seems not to lock when I use the "close all panels" button and then start a new layout.

I hope others are able to provide the advanced logs. After a number of attempts, the Performance Tool wouldn't work on my old notebook. A dialog complained that it was unable to execute -perf.exe. Maybe there's a logging tool to collect logs on the malfunctioning logging tool. The better computer in my office (also on the Beta channel) did not have the issue.

I installed the tool and it indicated it did so successfully, but when I ran it, it said it "Failed to remove temporary ETL sampling log file."
Unfortunately, I had the same problem. [:(]

Tim and Harry,
Can you both manually create a folder in your user account's Documents folder and name it Logos Log Files? Then try the performance tool again when necessary.

Sadly the lockup problem is still there in 9.6 Beta 3. I am preparing to teach a class tonight, so I don't have time to do testing. I will try the performance monitor again when I get a chance.
Meanwhile, here are my Logos logs from the latest lockup.
If I hit the "nuclear button" to close all windows, then I can successfully open a saved layout.

OK. I did not have complete success, but I hope you will get some useful data.
The performance tool locked up with this error message dialog:
However, the performance tool did save a file. I put it on my Dropbox here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yworrwg1oriq6zs/Logos.sample.etl.zip?dl=0
The Logos log files are here: 8304.Logos 06-15-21 2313.zip
I hope this helps!

Yes. I posted my logs above. If you can post some too, perhaps FL can get a better idea of the pattern. It does not happen with all of my layouts.

One point more: do you have on or two screens?
In my setup the desktop computer has two screens and the setups I use utilize both screens. It has a stable Logos version and works fine.
In my laptop I have one screen and beta version. This one locks up. The problem started with 9.6. But I just wonder whether the two-screen layout could have an effect? Using the close all panels between the layouts prevents the lockup.

I use one screen, beta version.

Yes, works fine that way, if I remember to do it!

I only use 1 screen. I first noticed the problem with 9.6 beta 1.

Tim and Harry, thank you for additional logs.
I'm afraid we need collect even more logs using a different tool. Will you please reproduce the hang and collect a Process Dump using the instructions at this page?

Please let us know if you need any help.

This was fixed in 9.6 RC 1.
