Scrolling of the test case tree by mouse wheel extremely slow

[yanne]

OS: Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 Robot Framework 2.7.4 (Python 2.7.3 on linux2) RIDE: 0.51

Expand tests suites or cases in the tree so it takes couple of screen height and rotate mouse wheel. As result the tree scrolls very slow by one line and stops only after a while.

It's very annoying.

This issue was originally reported to Google Code on Oct 22, 2012.

Bug is reproducible as described: open big project, start opening up nodes in the tree, see scrolling slowing down.

There might be way to lazy load the tree, see: http://wiki.wxpython.org/TreeControls

However, it might not be trivial

Seems like the instructions in http://wiki.wxpython.org/TreeControls will not help with this issue.

I also met same issue.

This is a big issue when running RIDE on a Linux machine. I'm currently in the process of setting up an Ubuntu server which multiple users will bring up RIDE and use it to navigate and develop tests.

This is a very annoying problem and greatly impacts work flow as it sometimes takes close to a minute to scroll to the bottom of a big test suite.

Any updates on this issue?

Same issue here. This is very frustrating.

Same issue on a Debian Wheezy and RIDE 1.2.3 running on Python 2.7.3.

One of my core is at 100% when the scroll is very slow.
