Any ideas how to catch a UI bug of the settings-window, it freezes sometimes

[pc223]

I notice the settings-window sometimes freeze when I try to open. Can see the settings content but can't interact, still able to close the settings-window. When close and reopen, it works again. No exception in the logs, it tends to happen after a long run time, maybe a couple of days, so really hard to reproduce.

I'm trying to investigate but not sure where to put the logging. Any ideas how to debug this?

Just add a bunch of logs in this SingletonWindowOpener, see if it'll stop in any step

Check out this MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit#559

I think that's reproducible, though I don't understand the main reason.

No, I just discover and confirm it on google when this discussion is posted.

Nice! Seems we have a good chance to fix this, I feared we have to take much longer time to pin point this 😆

👍 I'll try them out, maybe make a PR if it works 😼

It would be better to check or add Log in SettingsWindow.xaml.cs if you would like to debug this, since that will allow more access to private property.
