Debugging in MSVS leaves zombie console window
Some time ago Qt has start to leave console window if I stop debug process. I find console app in Task manager in App tab, but there's no sign of them in Process tab. And i can't close console otherwise then after computer hard reset.
For example - program stops on my breakpoint and I decide to stop debugging by SHIFT-F5. App GUI vanishes, but console window stays. It's even more frustrating when program crashes - I can't push it further and the only thing I can i s to stop debug.
On the other hand - if I choose 'Detach all' from Debug menu - then app and console disappears (sometimes even this won't help).
In release mode - there's no problem, even during crash.
It seams like debug service leaves some strange hook or connection and refuses to close console (or entire app).

We observe this same on VS 2008 since about 1 week. Problem occurs only on Windows XP, not on Vista.
Re: Debugging in MSVS leaves zombie console window
I've seen this problem in our application, I seems it is caused by microsoft path KB978037 - see http://social.answers.microsoft.com/...7-03331a203ac8 for more info. Unistalling of this path should fix it.
I hope it will be useful.
Re: Debugging in MSVS leaves zombie console window
After KB978037 update removed from system problem vanishes.
I hope that Microsoft will solve this problem with other patches.
Thx Piskvorkar.
