Created attachment 53688 [details] Screen shot of the Kile window during the infinite loop Version: 2.0.85 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux When trying to build the latex file by calling Latex from the build menu or pressing Alt-2, the compliler enters an infinite loop that can not be terminated using the stop command. In particular, the following is repeatedly output to the log window: [BibTex] SiCScat.aux => SiCScat.bbl(bibtex) [BibTex] Done! [LaTex] SiCScat.tex => SiCScat.dvi(latex) [LaTex] 0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 badboxes [LaTex] Done! [BibTex] SiCScat.aux ... etc. ad infinitum (SiCScat.tex is the name of the tex file) Only closing the application could stop this process. This happened every time I reopened the tex file and tried to compile. Found I could stop this happening by renaming the source bib file (so that Latex must only be extracting information from the bbl file). In my tex file I use: \bibliographystyle{unsrt} \bibliography{Alloy} (Alloy.bib is the name of the bib file). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Reopen tex file and try to build using Latex from the build menu or Alt-2 Actual Results: As described above Expected Results: Should only perform one loop - think it should not be calling BibTex at all once this has been compiled.
Can you try to post an example LaTeX file here which triggers this behaviour? Thanks.

Ok, but I fear that without a test case, it will be very hard to find the cause of this bug. Can you maybe try to create a small LaTeX and BibTeX file which demonstrates the problem? Thanks.
Changing this to "Waitingforinfo". Without a test case illustrating the problem, this is hard to fix as I haven't been able to reproduce it.
