Description Jaroslav Tulach 2012-11-07 14:59:57 UTC

When one asks for computation of retained size, the profiler shows modal dialog. While I can understand you don't want the user operate with the heap snapshot, showing a global modal dialog prevents me to do any other action with the IDE like working on other bug meanwhile.

Given the fact that computing retained size may take minutes and the dialog cannot be closed, I consider it as an important UI responsiveness blocker.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-11-07 15:06:13 UTC

Btw. "show nearest GC root" also shows modal UI dialog, but at least it does not take that long to compute.

Comment 2 Tomas Hurka 2012-11-20 16:31:04 UTC

Fixed in profiler-main
