Describe the issue
The UI frequently hangs for me, either requiring me to wait a very long time for it to become responsive again, or killing bitcoin-qt and restarting it.
Can you reliably reproduce the issue?
If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:
- Start Bitcoin Core
- Wait a few minutes
- Minimize to the taskbar
- Open the main window by clicking the icon in the taskbar and clicking “Show / Hide”
- Attempt to do anything with the UI. I have found that opening the debug window and attempting to change tabs will usually cause it to hang.
Expected behaviour
It shouldn’t hang, and I shouldn’t need to kill it.
Actual behaviour
It hangs, and usually requires force killing in order make the node come back online (it seems to go offline when it hangs). I am unable to do anything with the GUI.
What version of bitcoin-core are you using?
v0.14.99.0-f34cdcb
