Muse crashes when testing breakpoints in preview, same place every time

[unauthorizedrob]

Hi

I am slogging through the (excellent) Muse tutorial by Dani Beaumont, and have hit a snag that the lessons don't address.  I am building the pages as instructed, but when I switch to "Preview" and start to check my Home Page breakpoints in the browser (Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit), the program crashes at the same spot each time, as if it is running up against an invisible wall.  I've rebuilt it twice, from scratch -- same thing happens.  Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Hi unauthorizedrob,

From your issue descriptions, it seems like Muse crashes while you do "preview page in browser" correct?

However, could you please answer few questions so I can isolate the issue?

1) Do you get any error message before the crash?

2) Do the program crash while you are viewing the site or before it displays in the browser?

3) What option are you selecting to preview the site in the browser?

Also, try this with a blank new site and see if still the issue persists.

Let us know your finding so we can proceed further.

Regards,

Ankush

Hi

Thanks for the reply.  I am using the latest Muse update, 2017.0.3.20, CL 804669, File format 363.

There is no error warning;  it just vanishes at the breakpoint.  I am selecting the "Preview" option at the top of the page, then dragging the page with the browser window (using Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit).

I will try a blank new site now, and report back.

Thanks

I forgot to answer this question:

2) Does the program crash while you are viewing the site or before it displays in the browser?

It crashes in the browser (Chrome) at the precise moment I hit my third breakpoint at 988 pixels, not before it displays in the browser.

there are a doz there... lets try a different question;

was you perhaps just working on one of the video files i.e, a vimeo or youtube widget when this lockup happened?

if so the current build you are downloading will fix the problem.

p.s, let us know either way mate

I am still learning — having problems with the fluid design and breakpoints anyway. But this page I THOUGHT I had done correctly. It may well be my inexperience. I didn’t get a chance to do a new test site, but will resume in the morning (I am in Los Angeles, 1:30 am here).

if so the current build you are downloading will fix the problem.

Thanks very much for your efforts — I will keep you posted and try the new build. I do love the program — just hard teaching an old dog new tricks!

Thanks.

Hey Rob, Thank you for all the information

Thank you for all the information.

Can you please try File>Preview page/site in browser option and see if it still happens?

Hi

Sorry for the delay.

I just tried what you suggested, "File>Preview page/site in browser,” and the problem did NOT reoccur.  The program did not crash, even though I can now see serious problems with the layout, which are due to my errors, not the program giving up on me.

This is using the latest update:   2017.0.4.8  CL805099

This preview makes it much easier to actually see the consequences of my errors, which is a big part of the learning process.

Thanks VERY much!

Rob
