Isn't destroying the OP's computer a little harsh?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm hoping they get his bank account at the same time!

That must have reminded the lion of the 2008's housing bubble burst. An appropriate reaction to that would be to become scared and flinch. Bonus points for running away.

He is too violent: I cannot love him.
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

I've spent hours, spread over days, on some #$&#$!*@!^#!* issue with Selenium and Protractor.
I had a test that sometimes worked fine (mostly the first two or three times) and most of the times didn't.
Searching, rewriting, waiting, logging, nothing seemed to help... I already found the server looped infinitely trying to get an element on my page.
And just now, I noticed the server always started looping at the same spot (which was pretty hard to see and remember sometimes it didn't loop at all and everything just worked).
So I fetch an element, click a button which removes the element from the DOM and then wait for the element to be removed from the DOM.
I guess sometimes the element removing would be a bit slower and the waiting occurred before the removal (it's all JavaScript multithreading/callbacks/promises, yuk...).
However, when the element would be gone before the waiting commenced the waiting would try to fetch the element to get it's status, couldn't find it, tried to find it again, couldn't find it, tried to find it again...
Fixed by just waiting a second.
So glad I've FINALLY found that issue!
Time to celebrate

DOM == Destruction of Sanity
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Coincidentally, "Dom" is also the Dutch word for "Dumb"

So your "wait to see if the element is removed" would loop forever because it couldn't find the element if the element was already removed?
That is just too weird.
But congrats on finding the problem!

Exactly.

Do I understand this right -- you "fixed" the bug by waiting a second instead of polling the element's status?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
|
|

|

Yeah, because polling the element's status wasn't going to work.
Mind you, this is third-party software behavior.
If it were my own I'd fix the infinite loop instead.
Anyway, if this task takes longer than a second that's probably a bug too.

Poorly written third party software is the worst. Glad you found a way around them.

Had similar problem reading paper tape input where the next read executed before the last read's physical movement had ceased. Wait of 1/10th second fixed it. In 1965 I think.

Just updated to Update 2.
Now all the code text is black on black.
WTF?
//edit
fixed it by changing the "theme" to "blue" and then back to "dark" in Tools > Options > Environment > General > Color Theme
