"An election with the same identifier is already open"
Under "Applications" or under
"Processes"? applications
You have to look under Processes. Applications
only shows the main windows thread, which is gone. It is
background tasks (notably the poster or central count) that cause the
problem.
Can you reproduce it? yes on my
laptop and Santa Barbara can too- they just
did
they were running central count - didn't stop - were printing
reports (summary by precinct) got thrown out of gems completely -
back to desktop - went to open gems again and got the message above
- said ok- tried again and got
in
Woah...
Back up here. Are you saying you can you cause GEMS to crash by
printing reports while running central count? This is what SB told me she was doing at the time of
the crash
Can you
reproduce this? I I don't have CC so I
cannot - I can ask her to reproduce it and see if it crashes
again Has this been reported? This is reporting it - I can do another bug track if
she reproduces it or I can ask Jane in Omaha who can run CC if she can
reproduce it - This is serious and needs to be tracked
down.
You will almost
certainly find a GEMS thread under Processes. Kill it and you won't
get the GEMS already open error when you restart. But we need to
track down and fix the crash.
