Update: We'll be refactoring this code... hopefully we'll find the problem. A log file would be helpful.

I encountered the same error with Measure locking up after a recording. It occurred at a random interval of time though, from 30 seconds - several minutes after hitting record. I have the latest version of the code, 4979c15fb2fc54b8e36704beff2cb12c77b71ffe, and I posted a copy of the log file created below.

Not much info in the log, unfortunately. I'll take a closer look after I finish the refactoring.

I was able to reproduce this issue on my XO 1.5 with the latest Measure code from git.

For me it locking up on this line:

    x_orig, y_orig = window.get_origin()

A patch that seems to resolve this issue

[lmacken]

Walter committed this patch in f2ac4e4583339bcfa1d7894ee6b8b8d2e10f79a3

Right now the patch wraps gtk.threads_{enter,leave} around the entire JournalInteraction.save_screenshot method. We may want to optimize it and only wrap it around the gtk calls.

I think we are OK now (v30). Please reopen if the problem persists.
