Re: Fw: Staggered Cursor Movement in RDi V9

I've seen a similar result when editing COBOL--that should eliminate the
live outline for at least part of the issue. Things used to hang when
trying to scroll through source, but now I'm mostly just seeing that the
"duplicate cursor" in the ruler area waits until you're finished moving
before updating. Not very helpful if you're trying to get to a specific
column of the source.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Fw: Staggered Cursor Movement in RDi V9


Stu, I would need to reproduce this in order to fix it.
Can I first confirm that this lag only happens in ILE RPG with the

dynamic

outline?
Does this only happen with large members, or members with lots of files
being referenced?
To be honest I can't figure out what could cause this, so if you can
consistently reproduce it, please open a PMR, so we can get your
environment and figure this out.

Folks,

I just noticed this behaviour as well. I have a RocketSled PC with 96

TB

of physical ram (ha) and WinXP. Really, it is plenty juicy. Decent

video

card as well.

It is very annoying, as when I am using the arrows I watch the ruler at

the

top to see where I am on the line. Well, used to. It is bad with the
arrow keys, is it far worse with the spacebar.

The symptoms described in the OP did not happen in 8.5.1 with any
regularity (until you got to the 1024MB storage threshold, but then
everything went bad). In fact, I can run them side-by-side and V9 does

it

and 8.5.1 does not. I'll add that the duplicate cursor in the ruler

area

at t he top also disappears.

I have also noticed that just using the arrow key to go up one page

(from

bottom to top of one page without scrolling it) blinks the whole page as

it

redraws the text on every keystroke. It's sort of psychedelic as the

lines

ripple and shimmer with white space streaking though them. Again, 8.5.1
did not ever do this and still does not today.

Perhaps the live parsing in V9 took a hit and now affects the display.
Parsing on every keystroke (per Edmund) might be a bit much, and that's
probably where the issue lies. Anyway, it sounds like an issue to be
investigated. A poor solution would be to have to disable the "more
timely" outline mode as that is easily 30% of the benefit of RDi. IMO.

Stu

Edmund - just found this in the archives:

"The Preference is found here in Rdp 8.5
Remote Systems->Remote Systems LPEX-> IBM i Parsers=> ILE RPG
checkbox "Update the Outline view when text is changed in the editor"

I used this to toggle the outline settings and it seems to have solved

the

problem - how bizarre...

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the live outline toggle.
