Bug 31165 [Perspectives] Should turn redraw off around perspective switches
Reported: 2003-02-06 16:30:04 | Status: resolved fixed

build I20020306 While in my target eclipse under debug, with 2 Java editors and the following perspectives open: Resource, Java, Debug, I noticed that switching between the perspectives was really flashy. Lots of menubar updates and repeated layouts. Just for fun, I added a setRedraw off/on around the whole thing in Workbench.setPerspective(Perspective). It felt -much- better afterwards. Should do this for RC1. My hack lost the busy cursor, though, and it's important to have it.
