Bug #20449
Updated by Peter Amstutz 12 months ago
Workbench 2 makes queries in the background to automatically refresh the display.
However, there are two issues:
a) It seems to be continuously refreshing the "All Processes" list even when the user is not at that panel, which is wasteful and slows down the app (and possibly is a memory leak)
b) More generally, the current behavior is that the top red bar cycles any time there is an outstanding AJAX request -- when the cluster is moderately busy, this causes the red spinner to just spin constantly, which makes it useless for the intended behavior of informing the user if the navigation action they performed has completed loading.
The spinner should only activate in response to deliberate user interactions such as navigation, paging, hitting "refresh" etc.
edit:
On further observation, this doesn't happen all the time. When it does happen it gets stuck in a tight loop of reloading containers and container requests. This definitely seems like a bug.
