Description Jan Holesovsky 2015-09-15 09:25:21 UTC 
Currently the sfx2 notification mechanism still uses a timer, which makes the feedback of eg. zoom slider, buttons in the toolbar (enable / disable), etc. ridiculously delayed:

sfx2/source/control/bindings.cxx , search for aTimer

It is annoying with the desktop app, but even more so with LOOL, as it by itself already has some latency, and adding an unnecessary delay on top of that is not good.

This should be changed to an Idle - so when there is nothing more important to do, the updates should happen ~immediately.

First attempt at this in:

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/19736

But unfortunately needs more work still...

Hello Jan,
Could this bug be tagged as an easyhack so a new contributor could work on it?
Comment 3 Jan Holesovsky 2016-11-14 08:24:17 UTC 
Xisco: Based on the attempt mentioned in comment 1, I fear this is not easy at all :-( - so let's not mark it an Easy Hack.
