Been happening for a while as your project gets more intricate it will start timing out on you. I keep refreshing the browser to speed it up again not always with success.
It was running fine for about 30 minutes…
then all-the-sudden… the Designer just (seemingly) stopped responding.
Everything appeared to be frozen…
(except when selecting an element - the values would still display)…
So I decided to click on the Preview icon a few times
and just sat and waited to see what would happen.
Sure enough - as I anticipated… the system did nothing for about 2 minutes
then all-the-sudden… flipped back and forth between Preview and Non-Preview Modes.
I’m guessing that I selected the Preview icon 5 times… because the Designer went IN and OUT of Preview twice - then went back into Preview Mode.
Selecting the Preview icon again… immediately brought me out of Preview Mode.
It’s as if something in the Designer gets stuck
in a loop and just cycles over and over.
Then… if given enough time - it seems to clear itself up.
