Project -> Add to repository causes flicker

[dummzeuch 1505]

Can anybody else reproduce this in 10.3.1  ?

 

If a large project is open, selecting Project -> Add to Repository the first time causes several seconds of flicker of the "Palette" tab and various other parts of the IDE until finally the dialog gets displayed. Even then the dialog's title keeps on flickering for a while.
This does not happen with small projects e.g. the default VCL project.

 

steps:

• Start the IDE (you must do that, it only happens the first time after a new start)
• Open a large project (I used GExperts)
• Select Project -> Add to Repository
  -> The Palette tab is flickering for several seconds until finally the "Add to Repository" dialog gets displayed.

Perhaps Add to Repository needs to open all pas and dfm files of the project first. That is backed by the observation that closing that project after that needs significantly more time than usual.

So it happens for you too? I was not 100% sure it wasn't caused by something in my installation.

Well, I don't see that flicker, but there definitely is a significant delay before the dialog opens. The flickering can be related to the actual form content that has to be loaded, so it might differ between projects.
