Deadlock when using Set Time and Date dialog of a Time Stamp Control during profiling

Environment:
Windows 8.1
LabVIEW 2018 SP1 f4

 

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open a VI which has a Time Stamp Control on FP (or create a new one);
  2. Open a profiler by opening Tools menu and selecting Profile > Performance and Memory;
  3. In a profiler window click Start button;
  4. Prepare your VI for profiling:
    1. On a FP click Time/Date Browse button next to Time Stamp Control;
    2. Do anything in Set Time and Date window.

Expected Result:

Window functions correctly and can be closed.

 

Actual Result:

Window locks up, you can't do anything with it or other LabVIEW windows (because it's modal).

It seems like other windows are still functioning, however; you can switch to them, just can't do anything else. And OS doesn't consider that LabVIEW is not responding.

 

The only solution to this I've found is to kill LabVIEW in task manager.

 

Reported to NI with SR #7808582.

I've seen this thread, but it's about a different problem. It states that opening Set Time and Date dialog causes your code to stop executing, and it will continue once it's closed. Also according to the last comment it seems to be fixed now.

I speak about the problem which cause LabVIEW itself to lock up completely, you can't close this dialog at all. And I didn't even run the VI, it was all at edit-time.
