Python Intrepeter corrupted after forced termination in Task Manager

[thomasb...@gmail.com]

I’m using PyScripter 5.2.1.0 x64 preparing teaching materials for a Python class. Intentionally, I executed a script with an infinite loop to watch how to terminate it. Apparently, the only way using Windows Task Manager, but when re-opening PyScripter my Python Interpreter Window is in a bad condition: a) The font size is very small but, worse: b) when executing a script first time, the results shown are fine, but when running the job a second time, no messages are shown. When closing and re-opening PyScripter the same happens, so I fear that I need to re-install unless somebody has a good advice?

Thanks, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

- Firstly,  please upgrade to PyScripter 5.2.2, since there where a few fixes, some related to Aborting.

- To break out of an Infinite  loop, when the Run,  Abort does not work,  you can try the Run, Python Engine, Reinitialize command.

Interpreter Font Size:  You probably accidentally changed the Interpreter font size.   You can change it either by:

- Ctrl + Mouse wheel+Up/Down

- From the Interpreter context menu select Interpreter editor options.

Finally regarding the issue of running a script working first time but then not working when you run again,  can you provide some more details.  Does this happen with any script?  Can you provide a reproducible case/example.
