#38435 Displaying dictionary topics causes temporary freeze

Posted by Heleyon on 10 July 2020 - 07:27 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

When I enable the dictionary topics by clicking on the button, it causes the application to hang for a few seconds.

 

Firstly, there's a delay, then the screen resolution seems to change to a different format, then the list appears and works normally.

 

Also, if I swap to a different dictionary while the topic list is still open, the same thing happens. It makes navigation a pain.

 

I tried to attach a video of the strange occurrence, but the forum won't allow it.

 

The PC is fast, has a decent graphics card and 16Gb of memory, so it's not a resources issue. All other software works fine during the E-Sword freeze.




#38441 Displaying dictionary topics causes temporary freeze

I have no issues with the speed at which the program launches.

 

As for the topics listing, I had thought I needed it, but it turns out I don't. When looking at a definition, it will often display a root word. Clicking on it doesn't work, so I thought I'd need to find it in the dictionary list of Strong's numbers - the list that's causing the problem.

 

Then I found that a right click on a given root word will give the option to search for that word, and this takes you to the entry for it. I hope that makes sense.

 

I realize more experienced users will already know this.

 

Thanks for the input, gentlemen.
