Description Fredrik Persson 2014-03-29 16:14:28 UTC 
I've run the 2.4 a lot and just recently switched to 2.6.2. (Win7 64 bit)

The UI is very unresponsive.

1. Expanding accunts with sub-accounts has a considerable delay of up to 1 sec before the UI responds.

2. Swithing from an account register tab to the "Accounts" tab is equally slow.

3. The menus ("File", "Edit" and so on) takes a lot of time to display, and sometimes fails to display altogether.

I work quite a lot in gnucash and this will get unbearable fast, I need to switch back to 2.4.
Comment 1 Frank H. Ellenberger 2014-04-01 14:08:36 UTC 
Is this really different from Bug 722903 - Poor performance of account hierarchy, budgets, reconcile window,... ?
Comment 2 Fredrik Persson 2014-04-01 18:24:10 UTC 
I don't know.
Comment 3 Geert Janssens 2014-04-01 19:46:26 UTC 
Some people have reported that removing the .gtkrc-2.0 file from your home directory fixes the slowness as well. More details can be found in bug 726754.

Can you try that ?
Comment 4 Fredrik Persson 2014-04-02 05:09:31 UTC 
I've tried that, it made no difference.
Comment 5 Geert Janssens 2014-04-02 09:38:09 UTC 
Last option is to open the "Select Theme" tool and choose a different font. Does that make a difference ?
Comment 6 Fredrik Persson 2014-04-02 09:39:50 UTC 
I've tried that too, and it is just as sluggish.
Comment 7 Geert Janssens 2014-04-02 09:42:57 UTC 
I'm afraid I'm out of options then. You may want to go back to 2.4 as you suggest yourself.

As I see nothing in this report that differentiates it from bug 722903 I'll mark it as a duplicate. I'm sorry there isn't more we can do for you right now.
