Good day everyone,
I'd like to discuss an issue in the current stable version 1.16.1 of pgAdmin3 that has been reported before [1], but since no solution was reported, I'd like to ask for a bit of followup.
The issue is pretty much as described in [1]: displaying rows with type TEXT with some content (smallish XML documents) renders the application unusable for a long duration. The retrieval is plenty fast, only the rendering in pgAdmin3 is affected. Since I have no experience with C++ nor wxWidgets, I'm afraid I cannot offer more than a simple profiling [2]. To the untrained eye, this seems like a problem in the wxWidgets library (correct me if I'm wrong).
I did some searching in the wxWidgets Traq instance, and all I found was this issue [3], but I'm not sure it's related - which was acknowledged 5 years ago. Does that mean there's no hope of this getting resolved? Or is it such a minor issue for most people?
In the mean time, I'm using a commercial offering, but I'd rather see the pgAdmin3 tool getting a fix for OSX developers. However, if this boils down to 'not our fault - go and bug the wxWidgets guys', then I completely understand that.
Cheers,
Phil
