Description thomas_hopf 2014-12-08 13:41:48 UTC 
During an automatic test we have figured out that the Options Dialog constantly works on EDT! Why? Could this be changed, because it interferes with other modules which works on the EDT.

BR,
Thomas

Please provide more details and clarify what the actual problem is and why it would be a bug, thanks.

Our automatic test changes a options settings and presses the Apply button of the Options Dialog. This triggers a repaint on our Editor component which is performed on EDT and needs a lot of CPU performance. When this action is finished another options setting is changed and the Apply button of the Options Dialog is pressed. Again a repaint on our Editor component is performed. After several runs of this procedure the CPU Load is rising.

If we close the Options Dialog by pressing OK instead of pressing the Apply button, then the CPU Load is not rising at all. We have seen that the Options Dialog constantly works on the EDT when opened although no action is done with it.
Why? Could this be changed in order to not interfere with modules which also work on the EDT.

BR,
Thomas
