Hello,

I am a CS undergrad and we use dc hubs on our LAN for file sharing. I have been using Linuxdcpp for the past two years and one thing I have noticed is that, when there are quite a few search results (2K-3k), the GUI  is unresponsive. By unresponsive, I mean none of the GUI events like clicks etc seem to be handled till the list is completely updated. Also when I switch to another window and back to the Linuxdcpp window none of the GUI window elements get rendered, I just get a grayish window.  While not a big problem, it is irritating because on our LAN it can take up to a minute for the list to be completely filled. I think (just taking a guess from what I know about GUI systems) this is because the list update is being done in a way that is blocking the gui event loop. I wanted to know if this was a known issue and if so are there any plans to fix it? I searched the bug list but did not find any bugs related to this.

Thanks
Gautam
