[news.eclipse.tools.gef] Re: paintChildren and IProgressMonitor updates

["Steven Shaw" <steveshaw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Intuitively this seems like an improper place to be updating progress.
Usually this is done in context to command execution.

Regarding your specific problem, since paintChildren is being executed on
the UI thread, updating the statusbar is probably doing a Display.asyncExec
to update meaning it will not spawn execution until the current execution is
finished before exeucting.
