Isaac Sim 5.1 freezes while editing action graph #490

Description

I have found Isaac Sim to be quite unstable when trying to do anything with the action graph, to the point of being basically unusable. I think this is basically the same issue reported in #329 .

It seems that doing anything with the action graph (e.g., adding new edges, deleting edges, changing attributes within each of the blocks) for more than a couple of minutes will lead to Isaacsim freezing and becoming unresponsive (sigint / ctrl-c won't kill it, but sigquit / ctrl-\ will).

But I do have a reasonably straightfoward way of triggering the issue:

  • Load an Isaacsim environment that has an action graph (e.g., https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pr8ytUHcqgoH8oT48YIm2RQ1UMnP12_l/view?usp=sharing , which is the Isaacsim example Office environment, and a Turtlebot with an action graph as explained in the Isaacsim ROS2 tutorial).
  • Start the simulation (play button)
  • Stop the simulation (stop button)
  • In the action graph, right click an edge and select "disconnect".
  • Isaacsim will become unresponsive.

This has been the most reliable way for me to trigger this issue, but I don't think it's specific to disconnecting edges and seems to share similarities with the symptoms in #329.
