Getting what looks like a repeat of an earlier problem. I step through a build, and it hits a step that triggers an error. In the current case, it can't write to a certain text file. But before that it was a different error and same result. FB then gets into a weird state where it's neither running nor stopped - the 'stop' button is the only available option. It also switches to the On Failure tab, but doesn't highlight a next step to run (there's only one step on that tab - exporting the log). When I press stop, it then freezes, becoming unresponsive.
I saw this before, and thought the problem was related to a corrupted log. But I've now renamed the log file, and the problem still occurs.

Yep, it's the action on 'on failure' that causes the problem. Got rid of that, and problem goes away. This is really deja vu - I had exactly this issue months ago. Using 5.5.0.340.
