(almost) Golly softlock

If you run this script:

Code: Select all

import golly as g
while 1:
	g.note("This was a bad idea.")

the only way to stop it is to close the textbox and stop the script at the same time. You should probably be able to stop scripts while a textbox is open.

As long as there's a textbox you're usually okay -- at least, I can escape from this kind of loop by just holding down the Escape key for a little while.

Maybe on faster computers the next dialog always pops up before the next key repeat? I've never had a computer where the Escape key didn't break out of a textbox loop eventually.
