Mini-lockups caused by chat messages

I'm still getting lock-up issues. For those who know Macs, this means I occasionally get the spinning beach-ball of death while it waits for the chat to update.

I think I've tracked down the source of this hang and and fixed it. I'll try to post it soon.

Hey Seth, that's great news. I know you guys must be busy getting ready for CASP9, but if you could post an update to fix this asap it would be immensely appreciated.

There have been higher levels of chat activity in recent days, and the chat hangs are beginning to really drag down the playing experience. :-(

Okay, I've posted the update. I'm marking this as resolved. Please reopen if the problem remains.

How about an external window for chat?
This would also be a benefit for multi-processor users.
I mostly disable FoldIt's built-in chat functions (like Madde) and run an external IRC-Chat-Program.
Doing it this way, I don't have these problems.

Just a note: I'm not getting the chat hangs any more. Not since the last update. Thanks Seth!

But I might look into the external chat anyway, because the in-game chat has a few limitations, such as not being able to copy/paste text or using links (not sure if that's because I'm on a Mac).

yeah… sadly not being able to copy/paste is a Mac thing, you are able to do that in windows.
