freezing momentarily
Posted: 12 Aug 2005 20:31
I'm having a weird issue with Tracker...
Sometimes when opening it up, or doing minor file operations, or right after viewing/changing the settings, or clicking folders quickly, or even doing nothing at all except going to another program, then back to Tracker, it's freezing up (non responsive) for a few seconds. If I click on it's taskbar button 2 times (minimize, restore) then I can move the Tracker window while it's frozen, but the top part turns white, and I get a hourglass cursor, and can't click on anything inside of Tracker.
(btw, if I don't minimize/restore it while it's frozen, then I can't move its window.)
After about 10 seconds or so, it comes back to life, and works fine until I do something else (listed above). Even tabbing back and forth between Firefox and Tracker while writing this post, each time I went back to it, Tracker was "frozen" again.
I even tried getting the latest beta, but it's no different. And it's not consistent... most of the time it does this freezing, but sometimes it doesn't.
Here's the white I'm talking about: http://avp.serveftp.org/cs/TrackerV3_v4 ... eezing.png
