[5e] New character setup hangs

Newish here, FWIW.&nbsp; I've been through the Charactermancer process a few dozen times now, just learning the best ways through.&nbsp; It seems like there are tricks to getting it right? Lately, it seems like no matter what I choose before I click the final page at "REVIEW" -&gt; "APPLY CHANGES", it goes through a hangup similar to what I find described here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6525218/charactermancer-5e-ogl-1-dot-0-bug-report-thread/?pagenum=8" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/6525218/charactermancer-5e-ogl-1-dot-0-bug-report-thread/?pagenum=8</a> In my case, it steps through "Building your character...", and hangs near the end of the red line.&nbsp; I've paged through the issues mentioned in the link, and mine seems different from those described there, which is why I'm starting a new page.&nbsp; Apologies if that was the wrong thing to do.&nbsp; I don't have much else to describe in my case though; I've tried guessing a few things (different choices along the steps, not exhaustive) and I haven't been able to narrow down a cause. It does seem that I get a successful "Building" case some of the time, but what my "good guess" was, I haven't been able to narrow down. As I write this, I haven't been able to get any run to successfully finish no matter what I try, but where it hangs does seem to vary.&nbsp; I can say that it's always leaving off the "personality triats, ideals, bonds, flaws" line, while some runs have either filled in or left off other parts. I realize that I yammer.&nbsp; Eager to go at this some better way.&nbsp; Hint me up?&nbsp; Thanks.

Just to get the question out of the way...&nbsp; Do you have the character sheet popped out in a separate window or tab?&nbsp; That does mess up the charactermancer, so be sure to leave the sheet within the game.&nbsp; If you didn't have it in a separate tab, then someone will probably want you to run through the solving technical problems list which can be found here:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Solving_Technical_Issues" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Solving_Technical_Issues</a>
Short answer: nope, I don't have a second window. I'll follow the link you suggest, but in the meantime, a little new info here: Poking around, I see a few things: If I pull up the character sheet and click either of the "Launch Level 1" or "Launch Level +" buttons, I find that some of the info that doesn't get brought up in the graphic "CORE" section has nonetheless been archived.&nbsp; For example the ones I refer to above, "Personality," "Ideals", etc., does come up.&nbsp; But it seems that some doesn't: if I click through to the finish step of one of those "Launch" phases, the alignment I chose previously doesn't come up. At least, some of the time.&nbsp; I'm out of time currently, will to to the Solving link as soon as I can. Thanks.

Oops: I misspoke.&nbsp; I'd been so focused on the settings under the main "Setups" init stage, I didn't verify that popups windows were switched off under the "My Settings" list that runs during the game.&nbsp; Sure enough, when I unclick "Use window popouts for characters" in the "My Settings" page, this problem does go away. Sorry for the booboo, thanks Kraynic.
Since this issue has been resolved I will close this thread.
