This is a really annoying problem which has existed for multiple releases of STM32CubeIDE. It is still present in 1.17.0.
Procedure:
- compile a new project
- start a debugging session - step a few times, and exit
- make some code changes
- hit the Run button - upload a new build, without a debugger
With that procedure, the IDE every times opens a random file during the upload procedure, e.g.:
This often leaves dozens of open files, completely ruining IDE navigation.
The problem can only be cleared by exiting the entire IDE and opening it again. It will then work fine, until the next debugging session is started.
This has been tested with a clean installation. On Windows and on Linux. 100% reproducible.
