Scanning project classpaths should happen immediately after the IDE starts and only after it finishes completely user should be able to start working with the IDE. I encountered several times that part of the scanning is done, then the progress dialog disappears, I am allowed to start working with the IDE and then suddently the scanning continues. See the attached screenshot. I opened Go To Class dialog when it seemed that the scanning is over and all of a sudden it appeared again and continued.

I have not been able to reproduce this and I've never seen this when doing the usual work in the IDE since the time this bug was reported. Tondo, could you provide more info on what you did? Since this is so hardly reproducible and it does not seem to cause any damange even when it occured to Tonda, I am lowering the priority and will close this issue as works for me if no other information is provided in say 2 weeks timeframe.
Well, what else can I say? I think I described the situation completely. Anyway, I did not see this for some time either. Feel free to close it as fixed. I'll reopen it if I encounter it again.
I was not able to reproduce this for a long time now. Anyway, scanning can now happen even during normal editing if some of the files on the classpath (e.g. a jar file that is a product of the project build) is changed.
