Well, I have to admit, I don't see this. But I did just
have three large GUIs running simultaneously and I couldn't
get anything to hang with copy/paste interactions in the
Editor. But when I went to kill the GUIs with my mouse, the
second one I tried to kill caused a fatal IDL error and crashed
IDL. :-(
Might be related, I guess.
