@patrykpoborca I get your point. I actually experienced this now. For a while, everything was working as expected. I was able to Ctrl + s and got the hot reload. But after some time hot reload got stuck and was in initializing hot reload so I did Stop the app completely and run it again and I was UNABLE to run hot reload with Ctrl +s only ctrl+. This is weird

Just to add that there are several reports of this issue from the user survey the Flutter team fielded in November 2019. More investigation into the root cause is needed.
