Description misako CLA 2008-07-10 20:25:23 EDT 
menu: Help->Software Updates displays a dialog with available software to install. In the top part there is a filter field. When typing a text into this filter eclipse starts to immediately applying the filter and whole dialog is block - what blocks possibility to continue typing into the filter field. There is certain delay but it is too short to be able to type in you filter expression. It almost imposible to use the filter field resonably.

This happens when the repositories have not been contacted/loaded yet, and depending on the connection, what kind of repo, etc., the load can take quite some time.  

We intend to replace the filtering mechanism used in this UI, as the standard
platform filtering support does not support async retrieval of the repo info. 
We had to make some unfortunate UI tradeoffs in 3.4 in order to get it working.
