Why does the flow process always get a Stuck error if it contains the text "Pro/Pros/Proses" {in our language Indonesian} in the variable?

The flow process always errors and gets stuck if there is a Variable Data extract containing the Text or Word "Pro/Pros/Process/Moment/Camera" {in our language Indonesian} in the resulting Variable text. Please update the Bug program

Hi,

You are saying it has an error and gets stuck.

Can you please share what the error is.

My Flow application often crashes or gets stuck during certain processes, especially in the Text Action field, such as "Replace / Extract Text from Web Page." The stuck condition is unpredictable, and there is no clear indication of where it happens.

Strangely, the process always gets stuck when the extracted or replaced text contains certain phrases like "Process," "Professional," "Phenomenal," "Spectacular," "System" (or their Indonesian equivalents: "Proses," "Profesional," "Fenomenal," "Spektakuler," "Sistem," etc.).

It seems that whenever the text includes system-related terms, Flow consistently freezes without displaying any error message, leaving the process stuck midway.

Make sure you don't have debuging breakpoint activated on the actions that the flow gets consistently stuck on.

You say the flow consistently freezes when text includes system-related terms. Does the timer still go on in the bottom left corner? Does it say "Running" or "Paused":

If it says paused then the flow is paused maybe by debug breakpoint or some other reason why the flow is paused and you can just press play for it to continue.

If the flow status is Running how long does it keep being stuck? It should timeout at some point but does it just go on forever in your case?

What does the variable have in it that you are trying to use Replace text -action to and it freezes? Does it have huge amount of text in it?

Have you tested with other versions of PAD? Maybe try with older versions if those don't give the same issue.

You said that certain words makes the Extract data from web page -action fails the flow when certain words are included. Try to troubleshoot if this is actually the case and search some site that has those words in it and see if it fails too if you use extract from webpage -action on those elements with those same words in them.

I have experienced this issue since the older version several months ago. It may have gone through multiple updates, but the issue remains the same. I will first try the latest version from the GitHub release you provided.

For context: The flow here involves automatic translation of titles and descriptions using Google Translate and ChatGPT, so it has multiple flows and subflows.

To begin with, there is NO Debug Mode with a red dot in my flow and subflow. The freezing issue only occurs in specific cases. I will capture and record it when a certain flow suddenly freezes.

As far as I remember, when the flow freezes, the timing continues to run without a timeout. It could remain in a running state for over a day if left unchecked, but it gets stuck at a certain point.

Please wait for my next response. I will test again with this latest version.

I have recorded it in case of stuck process. This is also the same in the latest version of the app.

"I have shared two video links below. It appears that the process is stuck without any timeout notification and will remain stuck until I manually stop it via the Task Manager. Please assist, as this may be related to a bug in the application." Thanks you for your help
