Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-05-22 12:34:27 EDT 
On Japanese XP the menus flash when you open an editor. I have seen this 
behavior on other locales and OSes but it is much more pronounced on Japanese 
XP

STEPS
1) Switch to the java Perspective
2) Close all editors
3) Open a Java Editor
4) Menus flash several times

Need to look at how often we are updating the menus.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-09-25 17:13:27 EDT 
Flash occurs on closing the editor
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-09-26 09:02:37 EDT 
In 20020925 they only flash once and that is because 2 calls are made to 
setActivePart().

The first one is made when the editor is deactivated when active part is set 
to null, the second is made to activate the default part for the perspective.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-10-23 13:53:44 EDT 
I think this can be reduced to F3 now as the problem is much less pronounced 
now.
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-10-23 14:58:14 EDT 
We need to look again at how often we are updating the menus.
Eduardo is looking at various performance issues.

Simon is working on Menus. There is another bug report about setting redraw to 
false.
Comment 7 Simon Arsenault CLA 2003-02-07 14:08:59 EST 
Lots of work was done in the past few months to minimize updating the menu bar. 
The only know issue I know of right now is switching between perspective (see 
bug 17800).

Using the latest integration build, can someone please verify this is still a 
problem and if so, please reopen.

I've looked at M5 on my WindowsXP Japanese. It's been much better than 2.0.x. I 
think this is acceptable.
