Description fabriziogiudici 2007-08-23 16:11:19 UTC

In the "Settings" tab, after adding a new Update Center (or enabling a disabled Update Center), the GUI gets blocked for some time. I think this is due to the 
download and checking of the catalog from the Update Center being executed in the AWT Thread. It should be done in background, or a popup with a 
progress bar should appear.

Tested on Mac OS X, I believe it reproduces on all platforms

It gets improved since this issue has been filed. Now it is fine at least for disabling Update Center providers.

Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-09-10 15:04:57 UTC

Right, I think it's fixed already in NB6.5
