Trying to edit and continue locks up the IDE

Whenever I try to edit a program when it is running, it gives me the option to stop and unwind so I can do edits. There are a couple other options also. But it locks up and I have to kill it. I know I am probably going about editing the wrong way but the fact remains that it should not lock up the IDE and force me to kill the process and it should not allow me to try to edit either.

    I guess you are using Whidbey Beta2   This hang is a known issue that has since been fixed and unwinding should work properly in our final release.  https://blogs.msdn.com/vbide/ contains an entry from April 19 which explains the unwind functionality in general, if you are not quite sure what's going on.

    Btw- even though this was a bug in the Beta2 version, you might be able to workaround this when the hang happengs by Alt Tabbing away from Visual Studio to another application, and then back again.

    Hopefully this workaround helps....

    thanks
