Description Jan Chalupa 2005-12-04 13:06:23 UTC 
[custom build of 2005-12-02; JDK 1.4.2_06]

When hovering the mouse over the article nodes in the RSS Feed/Atom tree, the
FeedReader tries to load abstract (the first paragraph?) of each article and
display it in a tooltip. This can cause problems for 2 reasons:

1. The document is being loaded in the AWT thread and the UI is blocked. This
can take a lot of time and make the UI extremely slow with slow network connections.

2. Some blog authors seem to fail to define the abstracts properly and the whole
document is being loaded and displayed in the tooltip including graphics and
advanced formatting. This can make the tooltips very big and slow to render.

The recommended solution is to disable the tooltips over the Feed/Atom nodes.
Comment 1 Jan Chalupa 2005-12-05 09:17:43 UTC 
Fixed. Expensive SyndEntry.getDescription() call replaced with simpler entry
info (Title, Author, Published Date). This should prevent the UI from blocking.

Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2005-12-06 07:54:05 UTC 
Further simplification. The HTML text used in tooltip looked bad in the
Properties description.
