Editing a .css file is a pain: Every time a popup appears, which is after every each space or enter, the code completion dialog appears, with a help window. But the help window appears gray and it takes 2-3 seconds to load. During that time, the IDE UI is stuck. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Java: 1.7.0_21; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01 Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.7.0_21-b02 System: Linux version 3.5.0-32-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; cs_CZ (nb) User directory: /home/ondra/.netbeans/7.3 Cache directory: /home/ondra/.cache/netbeans/7.3
Seems like it's the help content rendering which takes so long. Maybe it could be wise to pre-render it in the background for all values when the CSS file is opened? Or show the help on second Ctrl+space? Or maybe render in the background and show it when the rendering is done?
This started to work fine after restart of NetBeans.
BTW I'm curious whether this was caused by the browser rendering. If this happen again to you please take several threaddumps or take the ide thread snapshot and attach it here. Thanks in advance.
