Strange. I get the first message "timed out while talking to pbs" for almost every interaction in the GUI. This is new, I didn't get this with former versions. Something must have changed.
Someone else out there getting this behavior? As long as we cannot reproduce this locally, it's very difficult to fix for us. What you can try…
– run different Java versions – do some search on the returned error messages to get a better feeling if this bug is currently being fixed, or has already been fixed, by the Java developers – try different snapshot of BaseX such that we can further isolate the issue (ideally, by checking out the GitHub sources, and finding the commit that has potentially caused the new problems).
