Outline View flicker [message #782885] Tue, 24 January 2012 16:36 Go to next message

Hi all, when I have an Xtext editor open with an Outline View, the Outline View's tree refreshes every time I make an edit to the file in the editor. This is great except for it makes the Outline View seem to flicker if I'm, say, editing the name of something, since it refreshes on each key press.

Is there any way to do a more local refresh to the Outline View in these situations? For example, if I am simply changing the name of an item, can I make it so only the node that corresponds to that item is refreshed (instead of the whole tree)?

Thanks,

David

Did you fix that problem?
Or does anyone else know how to do it?

Which version of Xtext are you using?

The outline is refreshed by the reconciler, i.e. if you stop typing for
200ms. So as long as you spend less than 1/5s between keystrokes, there
should be no flickering. Is that what you experience?

I assume your outline tree is very big? How many nodes do you have
approx.? Does it improve when you collapse nodes ?

As the outline model is calculated in background, it wouldn't be a good
idea to reconcile the outline model, as UI actions could happen
concurrently.
