Problems with event enqueueing and client-server synchronization [message #78744]

Seems as problem (RWT 1.0.1): let's create Combo and add selection
listener does something might be time consuming (emulate it with
Thread.sleep()) and then dispaly modal dialog. When first time selection
made in Combo and while it is processing on server user still can change
selection again. It seems as new selection event is sent to server and
enqueued but when first selection event is processed and new selection
event picked from queue, new event is dropped since opened dialog "blocks
modality". As result selection in Combo changed in browser but no
selection event fired on server. The case is repeatable also from Controls
demo.

If some application logic heavily rely on selection change developers may
expect new bug in their bug tracker in case user does things fast or
server access is very slow:)

Hi,

did you check whether the state of the combo was also changed on the
server, meaning that at least the client- and server-side state are
running in sync? But anyway this seems to be a non-trivial problem since
we don't want to block the UI for interactivity in case a background
request is running. I don't understand the bug-tracker context ...?

Ciao
Frank
