Bug 95667 Display#update does not work on Windows XP
Reported: 2005-05-17 17:43:41 | Status: resolved fixed

(Creating this bug report to track your progress on this issue.) This is the problem we talked about - it seems that Display#update does not paint under certain circumstances. As Steve said, Windows might think we are dead when we don't spin the event loop for some amount of time. For the record, I want to show progress while the Workbench is being restored. This is before we actually run the event loop. The event loop cannot be run because the Workbench is not in a good state and because the restoring of the Workbench takes place in the UI thread. We would like to have the progress dialog repaint though...
