Recently I am encountering this problem: upon starting a TBrowser session, the whole ROOT stops responding without any stacktrace, and the only way out is to close the terminal. It happened with v6.26, I updated to v6.28 one year ago and the probem disappeared, only to appear again now. Re-installing didn’t solve the issue.
Welcome to the ROOT Forum!
Can you give more details? How did you install ROOT? Which exact version did you install (exact name of the file)? Is there anything printed on the ROOT prompt? Is the CPU 100% busy? Do you have a special startup script (e.g. .rootrc or rootlogon.C)? Can you try the latest release (6.30.06)?
And no need to say I never seen such a behavior…
Installing v6.28.12 the problem disappared. Given the periodicity, I may suppose some Windows updates interfere with the GUI.
Thanks for the suggestions
