# Bug: Timeouts Lost in Nested Application.Run() Calls
## Summary
Timeouts scheduled via `IApplication.AddTimeout()` do not fire correctly when a nested modal dialog is shown using `Application.Run()`. This causes demo keys (and other scheduled timeouts) to be lost when MessageBox or other dialogs are displayed.
## Environment
- **Terminal.Gui Version**: 2.0 (current main branch)
- **OS**: Windows/Linux/macOS (all platforms affected)
- **.NET Version**: .NET 8
## Steps to Reproduce
### Minimal Repro Code
```csharp
using Terminal.Gui;
var app = Application.Create();
app.Init("FakeDriver");
var mainWindow = new Window { Title = "Main Window" };
var dialog = new Dialog { Title = "Dialog", Buttons = [new Button { Text = "Ok" }] };
// Schedule timeout at 100ms to show dialog
app.AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100), () =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter timeout - showing dialog");
app.Run(dialog); // This blocks in a nested run loop
Console.WriteLine("Dialog closed");
return false;
});
// Schedule timeout at 200ms to close dialog (should fire while dialog is running)
app.AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200), () =>
{
Console.WriteLine("ESC timeout - closing dialog");
app.RequestStop(dialog);
return false;
});
// Stop main window after dialog closes
app.AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(300), () =>
{
app.RequestStop();
return false;
});
app.Run(mainWindow);
app.Dispose();
```
### Expected Behavior
- At 100ms: First timeout fires, shows dialog
- At 200ms: Second timeout fires **while dialog is running**, closes dialog
- At 300ms: Third timeout fires, closes main window
- Application exits cleanly
### Actual Behavior
- At 100ms: First timeout fires, shows dialog
- At 200ms: **Second timeout NEVER fires** - dialog stays open indefinitely
- Application hangs waiting for dialog to close
## Root Cause
The bug is in `TimedEvents.RunTimersImpl()`:
```csharp
private void RunTimersImpl()
{
long now = GetTimestampTicks();
SortedList<long, Timeout> copy;
lock (_timeoutsLockToken)
{
copy = _timeouts; // ? Copy ALL timeouts
_timeouts = new(); // ? Clear the queue
}
foreach ((long k, Timeout timeout) in copy)
{
if (k < now)
{
if (timeout.Callback!()) // ? This can block for a long time
{
AddTimeout(timeout.Span, timeout);
}
}
else
{
lock (_timeoutsLockToken)
{
_timeouts.Add(NudgeToUniqueKey(k), timeout);
}
}
}
}
```
### The Problem
1. **All timeouts are removed from the queue** at the start and copied to a local variable
2. **Callbacks are executed sequentially** in the foreach loop
3. **When a callback blocks** (e.g., `app.Run(dialog)`), the entire `RunTimersImpl()` method is paused
4. **Future timeouts are stuck** in the local `copy` variable, inaccessible to the nested run loop
5. The nested dialog's `RunTimers()` calls see an **empty timeout queue**
6. Timeouts scheduled before the nested run never fire during the nested run
### Why `now` is captured only once
Additionally, `now = GetTimestampTicks()` is captured once at the start. If a callback takes a long time, `now` becomes stale, and the time evaluation `k < now` uses outdated information.
## Impact
This bug affects:
1. **Example Demo Keys**: The `ExampleDemoKeyStrokesAttribute` feature doesn't work correctly when examples show MessageBox or dialogs. The ESC key to close dialogs is lost.
2. **Any automated testing** that uses timeouts to simulate user input with modal dialogs
3. **Application code** that schedules timeouts expecting them to fire during nested `Application.Run()` calls
## Real-World Example
The bug was discovered in `Examples/Example/Example.cs` which has this demo key sequence:
```csharp
[assembly: ExampleDemoKeyStrokes(
KeyStrokes = ["a", "d", "m", "i", "n", "Tab",
"p", "a", "s", "s", "w", "o", "r", "d",
"Enter", // ? Opens MessageBox
"Esc"], // ? Should close MessageBox, but never fires
Order = 1)]
```
When "Enter" is pressed, it triggers:
```csharp
btnLogin.Accepting += (s, e) =>
{
if (userNameText.Text == "admin" && passwordText.Text == "password")
{
MessageBox.Query(App, "Logging In", "Login Successful", "Ok");
// ? This blocks in a nested Application.Run() call
// The ESC timeout scheduled for 1600ms never fires
}
};
```
## Solution
Rewrite `TimedEvents.RunTimersImpl()` to process timeouts **one at a time** instead of batching them:
```csharp
private void RunTimersImpl()
{
long now = GetTimestampTicks();
// Process due timeouts one at a time, without blocking the entire queue
while (true)
{
Timeout? timeoutToExecute = null;
long scheduledTime = 0;
// Find the next due timeout
lock (_timeoutsLockToken)
{
if (_timeouts.Count == 0)
{
break; // No more timeouts
}
// Re-evaluate current time for each iteration
now = GetTimestampTicks();
// Check if the earliest timeout is due
scheduledTime = _timeouts.Keys[0];
if (scheduledTime >= now)
{
// Earliest timeout is not yet due, we're done
break;
}
// This timeout is due - remove it from the queue
timeoutToExecute = _timeouts.Values[0];
_timeouts.RemoveAt(0);
}
// Execute the callback outside the lock
// This allows nested Run() calls to access the timeout queue
if (timeoutToExecute != null)
{
bool repeat = timeoutToExecute.Callback!();
if (repeat)
{
AddTimeout(timeoutToExecute.Span, timeoutToExecute);
}
}
}
}
```
### Key Changes
1. **Lock ? Check ? Remove ? Unlock ? Execute** pattern
2. Only removes **one timeout at a time** that is currently due
3. Executes callbacks **outside the lock**
4. Future timeouts **remain in the queue**, accessible to nested `Run()` calls
5. **Re-evaluates current time** on each iteration to handle long-running callbacks
## Verification
The fix can be verified with these unit tests (all pass after fix):
```csharp
[Fact]
public void Timeout_Fires_In_Nested_Run()
{
// Tests that a timeout fires during a nested Application.Run() call
}
[Fact]
public void Timeout_Scheduled_Before_Nested_Run_Fires_During_Nested_Run()
{
// Reproduces the exact ESC key issue scenario
}
[Fact]
public void Multiple_Timeouts_Fire_In_Correct_Order_With_Nested_Run()
{
// Verifies timeout execution order with nested runs
}
```
See `Tests/UnitTestsParallelizable/Application/NestedRunTimeoutTests.cs` for complete test implementations.
## Files Changed
- `Terminal.Gui/App/Timeout/TimedEvents.cs` - Fixed `RunTimersImpl()` method
- `Tests/UnitTestsParallelizable/Application/NestedRunTimeoutTests.cs` - Added comprehensive tests
## Additional Notes
This is a **critical bug** for the Example infrastructure and any code that relies on timeouts working correctly with modal dialogs. The fix is **non-breaking** - all existing code continues to work, but nested run scenarios now work correctly.
