When opening the Objectives window the client slows down to a crawl. This is also visible in the animated bonds graphics (sidechain bonds). When closing the Objectives dropdown, the client speeds up again. (Are you polling the events of that drop down window too frequently maybe ?)
BUG
I've seen this in puzzle 2207 at least.
Bump, this should be a high-priority fix as it hampers CACHE
I have the impression that the issue gets worse the longer the client runs. A fresh client hardly slows down, but throughout the day the client comes to a halt when opening the dropdown. It took more than 10 seconds to open eventually.
Thank you all for the information about this issue. I have been looking into it, but have yet to be able to recreate it. I think the prolonged sessions that you mentioned Bletchley Park may have something to do with it. This gives me a new place to check and is much appreciated!
In my hands, Foldit clients running puzzle 2213 seem more likely to have the problem with the Objectives dropdown menu after many hours of running. Fresh clients seem to be safe from it.
bump, problem still exists.
Hi Bletchley Park! Could you let me know what build version and operating system you are using?
Hello @Sciren I am running V25-20230512-8ec99fe478-win_x64-devprev on Windows 7.
Please note. I will NOT upgrade to a newer Windows version.
