I haven't tried to reproduce this, but I sure short-circuited QCAD.
I was scaling down a block and accidentally entered two decimal points: .o.o5
The result was QCAD hanging up. I've tried clicking left and right, simultaneously clicking left and right, hitting ESC, DELETE, ESC & DELETE combo, but all I get is that crosshair that says "Grid" at it's center...the same one it shows when QCAD wants you to find a point on an entity before moving it. When I tried to scale it again, that's when I saw my last entry, having two decimal points in it. I was surprised that passed as a valid field entry.
Here's a screenshot and the file. Not sure if the file will show you anything, but it did allow me to save it. I just can't do any work to it until I restart QCAD.

Re: QCAD hung up while scaling
I wish I had gotten that error msg, Husky. Not sure why I didn't. I know Andrew has entries like this in try/catch blocks to make sure they're valid. It was just one of those quirky things, I guess. Seems like I get all the quirks life has to offer...like the lump of coal I got in my chimney-hung stocking last night
Thanks for the tip on the Reset. That's a nice feature.
