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

[nZain]

Since I now know, how it works (and made my own thoughts), I'm fine with
the technique. I agree, that the double-layer to separate sync-locks and
editing is tricky to implement.

(1) Probably it is useful to tell the users, that this lock will happen
- as the typical user does not know about sync problems and he wouldn't
expect it.

(2) When you skip over the code, have a look if the sync lock can appear
more often than the sync interval (this was my feeling).

Other than that, this bug can be closed. Thanks for your quick replys,
Sandy.

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.
