[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 599283] Re: active tomboy note hangs (grayed out) frequently

[Sandy Armstrong]

Sorry, sync is currently designed as a transaction with the server, so
you cannot be allowed to edit a note while a transaction is in progress.
It will be non-trivial to change this.

The slow speed has to do mostly with the speed of the U1 servers.

Skimming through the code, it's possible that we set it to always do a
sync 1 minute after you are done editing a note, which is perhaps a bit
aggressive.  I need to review the code in a bit more detail, it's been
awhile since I wrote this.

The search window stuff is covered in other Launchpad bugs and appears
to be Ubuntu-specific.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: tomboy

While editing a note, it is frequently grayed out for several seconds. The note is not responding to basic edit attempts. Since this happens very frequently and takes the longer the larger the note is, I suspect it may be some problem with ubuntu-one sync, which locks the underlying note file? I'm not familiar with the sync technique of ubuntu one. Alternatively, it could be a bad implemention of an autosave method.

When I do not touch the note - just leaving it open on the screen - it does not happen. When I'm actively editing the note, it happens more frequently than the sync interval, can't say exactly. So this speaks against ubuntu one sync. I'll turn of autosync now and report back later.
