Yes. Using 2.7c
The Freeze with the "E" on the screen happens to me any time I try to scroll back.
Have to exit miner and restart it.

We will look into this, the problem is that it doesn't happen on our test rigs but we will find a way to reproduce and fix it.

This is what happens on my end and no combination of keyboard entry (other than Ctrl+C ) does anything to bring the normal onscreen miner back. As another member has mentioned, the miner is still actually running in the background, and the logs actually confirms that it is running normally.

I've been running the miner now for a few weeks and it's superb, except for the mentions below:

1) the miner doesn't seem to be optimized for the RX550's as attempts your miner with them the resulting hashrate is ~7+, while Claymore gets ~10+. Is it optimized for them and I'm doing something wrong, or can the you make it compatible if it's not?
...

Well, we don't actually have any RX550 cards here Embarrassed

so it is probably running the generic kernels, which are slower. We will try get some and make better kernels for them for the next release.

It is indeed using the generic Kernel:
