Terminus: Freezing when closing a tab

[tabarra]

Version: 1.0.91
Platform: win32 10.0.18362
Plugins: none

Sometimes when I close a tab terminus freezes mid-animation.
Sorry if I don't have more information.

Possibly a dupe of #1564 ...

Same happens to me sometimes, I tried looking for errors in dev tools console, but there is nothing there really except for this warning (which happens several times while Terminus is running but it doesn't seem to be connected to this problem as it doesn't just happen when the freeze occurs)

Could not resize xterm Error: This API does not accept floating point numbers
    at eval (VM693 57:1)
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at e._verifyIntegers (VM693 57:1)
    at e.resize (VM693 57:1)
    at xtermFrontend_XTermFrontend.resizeHandler (xtermFrontend.ts:101)
    at ResizeObserver.eval (xtermFrontend.ts:139)

The freeze looks like this, it happens mid-animation when I try to close a tab sometimes, the interface can't be interacted with anymore after this happens (Dev Tools still work if you would me to help you debug the issue somehow):

To fix the issue, I have to kill Terminus with task manager as window's buttons don't work like rest of the interface and closing with taskbar doesn't seem to do anything either.

Yes, that's exactly whats happening!
It freezes in the middle of the tab (more or less) animation.

@Eugeny I know this probably isn't that easy to fix or debug but any chance to get information if you can reproduce this or if we can help in any other way with debugging this issue? I don't have required knowledge to fix whatever the underlying issue that needs to be fixed is code-wise, but I would love to help in some way if I can :)

[Eugeny]

@jack1142 I'll try to get to this as soon as I have a free evening again :)

Doing some of my own testing on this issue - I found I could not reproduce it I disabled the "Use ConPTY" flag.

Otherwise, I always get a hard freeze on tab close.

I confirm, only reproductible with ConPTY flag. Occurs very frequently when using Cmder

[tabarra]

Any updates on this confirmed issue?

[joelmgallant]

Just re-tested on 1.0.108 with same settings as above.
Also cleared Roaming profiles.

Same freezing behavior, unfortunately...
No errors or uncaught exceptions that I can see in DevTools.
only seems to occur when closing tabs via window interaction methods - typing exit command doesn't seem to cause freezes.

Since this issue doesn't even have an label, I can only assume nobody is even looking at it.
unfortunately this bug fucked me up one too many times. Can't use this anymore.

This issue is really annoying, any updates?

At this point, you could probably just try another app.
I gave up on Terminus and changed to the new Microsoft Terminal.
It is not a full replacement for Terminus, but with some minor settings.json changes for styling and adding git bash, I'm fine with it (never had any issues).

The new Windows Terminal and the original Windows console host, all in the same place! - microsoft/terminal

Wanted to give a Terminus a try, but this issue has 100% repro rate in my environment. Makes this unusable.
