Description Jared Jennings 2013-03-16 00:03:39 UTC 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+bug/839188

You can call it a bug, a design flaw, or even a feature request. But the window freeze on sync can be really annoying.

When your notes are synced, any open notes become locked until the sync is complete. I think this is by design, to prevent a sync from going bad. (Is that even possible?) But, especially when the network is slow or the server is rather busy, the notes are locked for annoying long periods of time.(Every %d minutes sync interval.)

I suggest, if this lock is necessary at all, that the synchronization functionality creates temporary copies of notes to sync in the background, so you can continue using your notes while sync is happening.

(Ubuntu 11.04 Tomboy 1.6.0)

The Tomboy team has moved from GNOME Bugzilla to GitHub for bug reports and feature requests: 
      https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy/issues/
Closing this report as NOTGNOME as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 781054) to keep tasks in one place. Please feel free to transfer this task to GitHub if this task is still valid in a recent Tomboy version. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
