v8.0.15

I;ve noticed on multiple gateways that i’m unable to open another project from the Designer file menu. When I try, this all I see and I’ve left it for 30mins over lunch before.

Can you get a thread dump while this is happening? You’ll need a manually installed JDK to run `jstack`. Or get in contact with support.

This definitely isn’t something we’ve run into before, and we definitely test switching projects 🙂
