Hi, The problem is not that the polling is slowing other programs down, but rather that it is presenting problems for our design recovery tool.
I tried getting rid of this frequent polling by changing the code in WorkArea::WorkArea as follows: ...fl_add_free(FL_ALL_FREE, ...)... to ..fl_add_free(FL_INPUT_FREE,...)... This seems to have fixed the problem and LyX still seems to be working ok. Amir Amir Michail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: | Hi, > | We have noticed that LyX performs frequent | polling.

What os is this? And frequent (as in 50 times a second) does not harm anyting as long as now actual work is done. -- Lgb
