Jumping to random file after pressing Run button

[GeneralTao]

Hello. When I press to Run (Run main.c) button, STM32CubeIDE opens random file, possibly, from current repository, for example: startup_stm32l452xx.s, core_cm4.h etc...

Code is loading successful, but this side effect bothers me.

I would like to disable this function. How can I do it?

If you need more information about this behavior please, ask.

Thank you for reading.

Only now I noticed that 'Run' button indeed flips from incactive to active during flashing process/debug session launch, but I am not able to click it as there is a modal window showing progress of the flashing progress

Maby I enabled that modal progress window somewhere.

Hm, so this thread started in 2020, 1.14 was released in 2023. Where can I see release dated of CubeIDE versions ?

What Cube version was 'the latest' in 2020 ?

I do not see release dates for each release in Release Note

I'm using STM32CubeIDE 1.15.1 at the moment, I haven't seen the window. I also have external flash which flashes after the internal flash is flashed and that can take a while. Most of the time I can control myself to not press the button, but it's so tempting to click a green play button that I sometimes forget.

"it's so tempting to click a green play button" haha, I know, hard to resist el ou el

There is a kind of information about release dates but would rather see it stated within each version update note. not as a sideproduct of the document's revision history.

So this thread  started on Jun 2020, when CubeIDE latest version was 1.3.1.

I work with STM32CubeIDE daily and it is one of my main annoyances.
All I want from my IDE is not to open files unless there is a breakpoint. Is that too much too ask?
