I've seen this, too. (I've been meaning to post, but hadn't figured out how best to describe it)

Once FARR is in the state, it can't be closed at all by any means I've found. The only solution is to kill the process and re-run it.

did you add any plugins lately
I had that problem in conjunction with the EnvironmentVariables and possiblythe google search plugins
certainly the combination of the two doesnt work for me (or TucknDar)

Yes, remove EnvironmentVariables. I've had problems with it too, together with FARRAltTab plugin.  :(
i'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with these... in my experience, these two C# plugins are the only ones completely crashing MY farr. Not everyones experience, but certainly mine...

I noticed the same problem.. and was about to submit a post when I saw this one. sure enough unchecked Farr EnvironmentVariables in plugins and its back to normal :) Thats too bad as I actually used that plugin alot. Though I'm sure I haven't utalized 1/10th FARR's capabilities. I'm trying to wrap my head around Aliases/groups.

Any advice? eh.. NEW THREAD time :)

That also goes to show how well you coded this when the userbase can help eachother so easily and quickly.

Should be fixed! :) Get latest version of FARREnviormentVariables and of FARRTunes (it was a bug in them both).

Also read about it in main C# SDK thread:
