gEDA-user: annoying PCB hangups

[Ethan Swint <eswint.ramu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been working with PCB compiled on 26 Feb 2009 in Fedora 11 and have 
encountered one annoying hangup and one crash in the gui fairly 
frequently.  Neither one have been consistent enough for me to nail down 
completely, but I wondered if anyone else has encountered something 
similar to the following events:

The hangup comes when I use Alt-Tab to switch from another window (e.g. 
schematic) to PCB and immediately scroll.  The PCB canvas becomes 
unresponsive, the buttons and menu become grayed out, but the 
application doesn't hammer any system resources (CPU, memory, disk).  
Clicking the "close window" icon has immediate results and I think that 
I have been prompted to save unchanged work.

The crash comes from clicking in the netlist window after changing the 
netlist, e.g. directly editing the .pcb file or importing a netlist.  A 
workaround is to close & reopen the netlist window with every change.  
This can result in the loss of work, although the auto-backup does 
prevent too much from being lost.

Regards,
Ethan
