Lockup of Control Builder M Pro if Search Tool open during download to controller | 2019-06-13
The Search tool in Control Builder is very useful and very broken. Long indexing times and lockups are relatively common when utilizing the tool.
Recently, I've noticed that if I open the Search tool, Rebuild the index, utilize the Search function, then try to Download to the controller while the Search tool is still open (see SearchLockupSteps.png [1]); I will receive an exception error from Windows Server 2012 R2 which I've uploaded in DebugPopUp_20190613.txt [2].
If I click Continue on the Debug Dialog window (see SearchLockedUp.png [3]) then I can continue to use Control Builder, but the Search tool will stay open in a locked state in the background (see ContinueSelected_SearchStillLocked.png [4]) until I exit out of Control Builder, usually requiring me to End Task via Task Manager.
Is anyone else seeing this issue? Are there any internal ABB people on here who can push to make the Search tool a little more reliable and usable?

Hi!
I've noticed similar problems with leaving the search tool win (online) in combination with download is destined to crash (ver 6.0.3.2).

Yes. I'm using CB M Pro Version 6.0.0-1 (Build 6.0.100.27) but saw this and similar issues in 5.1. Search is such a key feature to efficiently find all connections between applications and variables that I feel like this needs to be addressed by ABB
