SAPGUI for java : progress indicator delay

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

I've noticed a change in behaviour between SAPGUI for Java 7.30 Rev 8 and Rev 9.

In Rev8, the (infinite?) progress indicator used to be displayed after a few seconds (whenever the gui was waiting).

In Rev9 and later (also, the new 7.40 ) the indicator is displayed almost instantly, even for operations that do not/should not  cause significant delays and is removed just as fast, causing a temporary change in colour on the whole window.

Has anyone noticed this, and is there a way to customise the time after which the indicator appears ?

I suspect it has something to do with a bugfix, as announced in

"A performance issue causing a significant slow down when showing the infinite progress indicator at the same time like frequently updated progress messages in the status bar has been solved."

Hello,

from the release notes of the upcoming SAP GUI for Java 7.40 rev 1

Progress Indicator:

• When animation was off, the progress indicator waiting for the next screen has been displayed without any delay.

As a workaround until the version is available, go to the Preferences dialog -  Design - Theme and check "Enable Animation".

Best regards
