alice-teacher Error message when running Alice 3.4

[Don Slater]

Saleem,
Thank you for your interest in Alice and we would love to hear more about your Girls Technology Day at NHTI, when you have time.

We typically see the error you describe when students run their project, but instead of closing the run-time window to return to the code editor, they click directly on the Alice editor, moving the run-time window to the background or even hiding it. The run-time window is still in control, and the students need to bring it back into focus, close it, and then all should be well. See the attached screen capture:

If you are seeing this under different circumstances, please let us know with any information that you think would be helpful.

All the best,
Don Slater

Sometimes it runs, but the Scene View goes blank and displays the following error message: “rendering disabled for performance considerations”. I have high-end Dell Precision workstation with solid state drive, a high end video card and 64 GB or memory.
