Hi dear Erlaintainer,

NOTE: I obviously use 24.0.1-1, but the problem is exactly the same
      with the stable version.
      ex_htmlWindow.html is present in the examples directory.

* What led up to the situation?

        Testing wxErlang with wx:demo(), clicking on "htmlWindow".

* What was the outcome of this action?

        Nothing is visually happening, however my CPU (i5-4210M :
        2 phys cores + 2 logic cores) has one core pushing to 100%
        and the GUI is completely stuck.

        This state is permanent.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

        This particular demo to work correctly, as I really need
        it for help features in an application.

Cordially,

Jean-Yves

Hi!

Sorry for such a long delay, this demo works fine at least starting with
Erlang 27.0.1 (and maybe for some earlier versions). Therefore, I'm closing
this bugreport.

Chees!
