Re: [mylar-dev] Context capture pause while typing

Hi Mik,
I was able to give it a try (and finally realized what Robert was
saying) and it was indeed the  "Link With Editor" mode issue.  I found
that it was happening for both the Package Explorer and the Project
Explorer.

Thanks,
Jim

Mik,
I'll check.  I've been working with maintaining code and modifying XML
mostly as of late, so I haven't had a whole lot of opportunity to
check lately.  I'll check during lunch and see what happens.  Thanks
for the explanation of how it works too!  That's pretty neat.

Thanks,
Jim
