Sketcher sidebar becomes (somewhat) unresponsive

[GeneFC]

basically any operation that requires a check through isSketcherAcceleratorActive() should be visually disabled

As I said, the coincident operation should be cancelled, not the warning message. It has been noted many times that going forward in a sketch when error conditions exist simply is asking for trouble.

That solution sounds great to me. Obviously, I'm new here -- is this the point at which I file something in the Tracker?

Delighted to have found this thread, because I have experienced something like this quite a few times...
Only way to get out of trouble was to close the sketch and start sketching again, at which point I was able to delete offending/redundant constraint, before continuing as normal.
I freely accept that it is most likely me causing the problem in the first place, by not watching task part of combo panel and missing all the warnings as they appear...

Yes.

You have done everything correctly. The behavior is now well-defined and a proper ticket can be written.
