Spyder won't stop running on Mac

[DaveGadgeteer]

After updating to the latest version of Fusion, Spyder has started working (on a Mac). However, I can't find any way to make it stop. Fusion's menus are at the top of the screen, but Fusion is unresponsive and shows the spinning beach ball whenever the cursor is over a Fusion window. Spyder is responsive. 

When I started Spyder by clicking Debug in the scripts window, it ran but I can't see any way to get back to Fusion without doing a Force Quit of Fusion.

Any suggestions?

I really need to make a Python script, preferably soonish!

Hello,

It would be great if you can provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue. If the issue was related to your script, please provide your script for investigation as well.

Thanks,
Marshal

If you are debugging a script, Fusion will launch Spyder in a blocking mode, that means if you don't let the script run till finish, Fusion will be unresponsive, actually you don't have to force quite Fusion, you can either close the Spyder window or let the script run till the end, this way, the control will return to Fusion. Similarly, if you are debugging an application in Visual Studio, you app must be unresponsive till you return from the debugger.

Let me know if this is not your case, then I may need your script to have a check to see what's going wrong.

Sorry for becoming unresponsive. I think the scripting began to work on the Mac again after a Fusion update and a couple of relaunches, but I haven't tested it again because I meanwhile gave up and made a .cvs file that I could import with one of the add-ins and get the result I needed. And then the whole design became irrelevant...
