Re: Future of pgAdmin3 after release of 4?

Anthony makes a good point, especially while pgAdmin 4 is still in
development. There is a serious issue where pgAdmin 3 silently closes
when you right-click on menu items to connect to a database or to open a
table, for instance. I've seen this on OpenSuSE Linux when using a
recently purchased machine but it has not been a big problem on
VirtualBox VMs or the old machine I replaced. Still occurs sometimes,
just not all the time.

I am aware of another user that pointed out this issue so I know I'm not
the only one. It would be nice to get that bug in pgAdmin 3 fixed as I'm
trying to encourage someone else to use it and they will be disappointed
if it's unusable.
