Sluggish UI with the FileBrowserSheet

I was wondering if this is a product of my environment, or something
others have had issues with?  For the most part the graphical elements
I've dealt with are responsive, quick to paint, don't cause any issue.
But I've notice a lot of inconsistency when opening a FileBrowserSheet.
Sometimes it pops up immediately, the next time it might take several
seconds.  One time through it will move quickly through the directory
structure, other times there is very noticeable lag between clicking and
anything happening.

 

I don't think its an issue with my implementation...but if someone
thinks it might be, I can post an example from my application.  This
probably seems a minor thing to have a qualm with, but I've found myself
double clicking a directory and because there is no response from the UI
other than to highlight the directory, I end up clicking again...opening
whatever file my cursor happens to be over when I double click the
second time.  If I'm doing this and KNOW what my app is doing, I can see
end users getting easily frustrated.

 

Any thoughts?

I do have a mapped network drive...can't remember if I was experiencing
the same behavior before I mapped the drive.  I'll check that out later
today, and file a bug.

OK, that's good.

 

Do you have any mapped network drives by any chance? Might be relevant,
might not.

 

Best thing to do is probably file a bug. Include as much information as
you can, and we'll see if we can track it down.

Not sure it is relevant, but specifically which Java version are you
using? For example (from running java -version at a command prompt):

 

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04-248-10M3025)

I haven't seen any major issues with the file browser sheet myself, but
it is certainly possible - it is a fairly complex component. 

 

What OS/JRE version are you using? Are you running in a browser or on
the desktop?
