I'm using Scilab 4.1.2 in a Windows Vista OS. Sometimes the system blocks when I try to save a file I am editing with Scipad, or when I try to exec a .sce file from Scilab. Bellow are some messages I got on log file:

================================= Log 1

2) Open Scilab and try to exec a source file
3) Open Scipad, edit a new source file and try to save it.

a) It is not clear to me whether you're reporting one single bug or three different bugs. Could you please be more specific? Which action among the three you give in "Steps to reproduce" do trigger which error? If there are more than one problem, please open different bug reports for the sake of clarity.

b) You say "sometimes". It would help if you could provide a test case that would always reproduce the bug. Do you have any such case to propose?

c) Could you try the fix I have proposed in #2672 (closed) here: #2672 (comment 1125944488) This bug was also about saving files from Scipad.

Thanks for your help, Francois

Three months later still no answer from the OP, nor confirmation for this bug from other people.

Apparently solving #2672 (closed) fixes this one too, along with the fact that Tk 8.5 is now shipped with Scilab.

I close this bug entry, please reopen if you have more information of if you can reproduce it.
