Bug Description

gtg locks up when closing a taskeditor window after editing the task, and gtg has to be killed.

I've noticed this a number of times now. Sometimes it occurs after I've edited a tag, other times after I've edited the title. I then hit esc and gtg freezes.

The times it freezes, I had hit esc really quickly after doing the edit, so wonder if it interrupted gtg in the middle of doing an update. I've not seen it freeze like this after editing the task description text though, so wonder if I'm catching it in the middle of updating the taskbrowser or something.

This is very hard to reproduce, as I try to do so after restarting gtg and can't do it. Of the times I've seen the freeze, gtg had been running for 24 hrs or so, so perhaps something else gets gtg into a situation where it can freeze like this.

Next time it happens I'll try attaching gdb to it and getting a trace, but I figured I'd file it now in case others have run into it, or can suggest a better debugging technique.

Hi Bryce,
Since the great refactor has landed, this will probably be fixed as a side effect.
Marking as invalid, but feel free to reopen if the problem persists (contact a medic if it's for more than four hours).

Not to be petty, but it should probably be marked as fixed then ;-)

Yeah, with how fast the new code is I really think I'd be hard pressed to reproduce this bug now, even if it still exists (which I doubt). But I'll file a new bug if I can ever see it again. Quite fine to close it as fixed now.
