Atom Editor Not Responding

[erinjerri]

I checked my Utilities and it is taking up so much energy, I haven't been able to code in it for a while and keep having this error pop-up.

I don't have that issue with input lag, it just won't load. =(

When editor is responding have you something like "input lag" when typing?
Because I have similar issue on Linux - Editor takes much more resources
than earlier, I can't type because editor has big input lag and switching
between tabs takes more than 10 seconds. Maybe mine issue is related to
yours.

You should read over #3426 to see if your issue is related.

Can you try running atom --safe and seeing if this still happens?

[markgarrigan]

This happens to me about every 10 minutes maybe more after the first time it happens. I have no packages installed and nothing custom. It's a fresh install of atom. Atom 1.3.2. OS X 10.11.2

I'm having the same issue, tried the advice in /issues/9185, to delete the uneccessary files from ~/.atom/storage but it appears again & again ..

@erinjerri Are you still having this Issue? Did atom --safe help?

[lee-dohm]

For others, can you replicate the issue using atom --safe?

[kexoth]

Right now I'm using Atom with --safe flag & it's fine, but still, this shouldn't happen 😞

[lee-dohm]

If the problem doesn't reproduce with atom --safe that means the issue is with a community package you have installed. Some people have had good luck with using the package-cop package to track these problems down.

We all agree that this shouldn't happen and we're looking into ways to mitigate these kinds of problems with runaway packages. Until that time though, there are ways to track down the root cause and get the information to the package maintainers so they can fix the issue.

#7581 this helps me work out. delete .atom/storage works for me

Thank you for reaching out!

Because this doesn't reproduce in Safe Mode, it would seem that what you're reporting isn't being caused by Atom itself but by a community package you have installed. It may be that there is still a bug in Atom. If so, we'll need the maintainer of the package that is causing the problem to help track that down.

What we need you to do is to figure out what community package is causing the problem. Some people have reported that using the package-cop package has been helpful, you may want to try it. Once you've determined what package is causing the problem, The Atom FAQ has information on how to contact the maintainers of any Atom community package or theme so you can file this issue there.

atom --clear-window-state works!
