Hi!
Would like report strange thing that I found.

My env.: WInXp, IDE 1.0.3 , Mega 2560
Problem: IDE hangs when sending program to arduino board. Hangs mean that progress bar get 95% and stop. If disconnect usb, IDE continue work as usual.
Reason: thi ONLY happen if program have 3 or more "!"
   For example:
Serial.println("Huray!!!");    - hangs
Serial.println("Huray!!");     - sent and work ok.

This happen even with BareMinimun program:

Code:

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Huray!!!");
}

void loop(){
 
}

Interesting is it only my local bug or IDE feature?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Yes, it does. It only does that when uploading code, so do not use "!!!" in your code.

Thanks for reply!
So it's known bug

I'm not sure you would call it a bug. That is the signal you want the bootloader to enter a diagnostic mode. You can avoid that by using the ICSP to program it if you feel it is absolutely necessary to upload "!!!" in your code.

Yes, it is a known bug and a fixed bootloader should be included with release 1.04:

Good deal!!! So with v1.0.4, I can use this again?

Code:

Serial.println("IT WORKS!!! I AM SOOO GOOD!!!");

Why would you want to?
