While i save the current state of my editor, i am unable to continue typing until the save is finished. This is annoying, because saving is long running operation on a remote resource, and it blocks me, from continuing my work, even on other editors. I can not find a solution for me to help out. Is there no multithreading solution available.

The Remote File System is an EFS implementation.

I don't think this is a dup of bug 329657. In bug 329657 the thing that is blocked is saving which is due to the main thread waiting to acquire scheduling rule before starting to save a file. This bug is about inability to type (i.e. use editor to modify working copy of a file) while the save is already occurring in the main thread. Not sure if it should go to UI or Text.

Florian, what editor are you talking about? Which Eclipse version and build? We do not provide any editor that allows typing during save.

So, for sure, it can't be Text.

There is not necessarily a special editor I use. But I use mainly a multipart editor in which I use the structured source editor five times. Nevertheless, the save the five editors, is done in the appropriate method. And I wonder just why it is not possible to further tap during the storage process is running. I mean even if I use a different editor, with another file. As long as he saves, I'm idle.

I do. Once save blocks you also can't type because everything is locked. Once we've fixed that problem, typing should just work.

In this bug save is not blocked but taking a long time to complete. If auto-build is disabled and saving a remote file is a long running operation, UI may still be unresponsive and fixing bug 329657 will not help.
