Re: [Gretl-devel] sluggish menu response when console window is open

Windows 7 here, latest snapshot):
1) start gretl
2) open a dataset (don't know whether that's necessary)
3) open the console window (via toolbar button)
4) click on a menu
-> It takes a noticeable time for the menu to open/unfold, and also when
changing to a different menu.
I'm not really seeing a problem on Linux, but the console enters a
wait loop to respond to commands and maybe the way that loop was
defined was not allowing sufficient cycles for updating the GUI. I've
made a change that might help in my working copy but unfortunately I
can't push it right now as sourceforge git access isn't working.
