Virtaal freezes during navigation (on java-style choice format messages)

[helix84]

Version: 0.7.1 (Windows 7, Debian Jessie), master (Debian Jessie) Keywords: freeze, hang, pause, wait

This should be very easy to reproduce on the attached test file. Just navigating (clicking or ctrl-up/ctrl-down) among the strings (no translating needed) of this file will freeze the Virtaal UI for minutes. This doesn't happen on a particular string, but seems to happen on strings that are in the java properties (created using prop2po) format with choice format (their equivalent of Gettext plural forms).

This occurs even with all the Virtaal plugins disabled. The delay seemingly gets longer the longer you change focus among strings, though I didn't verify this. It doesn't seem to matter whether the Plural-Forms header is present.

Test .po file: virtaal-freeze-test.po.

Couldn't replicate on Virtaal 0.7.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.

I'm not able to try to duplicate right now, but I can say that I worked extensively on slowdowns and interactivity problems since the release of 0.7.1. I haven't had time to work on a release yet, but I do believe that several such problems should be fixed in git. If you are able to try running it from git master and reporting back, that would be quite useful. I'm not sure when I'll get round to a release, but I do believe things are already better. I hope that helps.
