Description
On 9/18/2017, not long after Issues #326 and #327 occurred, a customer reported this:
can't get Parallax IDE to run consistently on Windows, Mac or Chromebooks.
buffer overflow 6 > 4
buffer overflow 6 > 4
buffer overflow 3 > 2
buffer overflow 3 > 2
Along the way of debugging for Issue #326, I found the code that I believe is causing this, and the way it is written, it treats a potentially-likely response from a connected device (BS2, or otherwise) into a fatal error resulting in toasts instead of a just a prescribed error "Board did not respond..."
Let's discuss the possible resolution once the related code is found again and options are weighed. It is unclear if this is caused by changes in Chrome v61 or not, but the timing of the occurrence is suspicious as we have not seen this error in the years prior.
