The discussion that prompted this poll continues in the sv.clarion.clarion8 newsgroup posting Craig Jorgensen said his IDE crashed more regularly when he used auto-hide on panels. I replied that I seldom see crashes, but then again I almost always have my IDE panels pinned, and have done so ever since Clarion 7 first came out. . I know lots of developers (and I'm among them) who try to avoid doing taking any IDE action while an app loads as this is likely to cause a crash. 

Neil Porter is convinced that moving the mouse while the app loads contributes to lockups, and suggested that seeing a panel automatically hide tempts the user to move the mouse. And if moving the mouse causes a panel to hide (or reappear), as Craig Jorgensen points out, well, you have trouble. 

While the IDE itself is .NET, the AppGen is Win32, and not only does it need to live inside the .NET environment and respond to commands from the IDE, it also makes use of various .NET IDE components. So it's probably no wonder that things get a little hairy sometimes. 

That's also a cautionary tale for anyone contemplating doing their own mixed Win32/.NET development.
