[Fixed] Window popup causes game lag

[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.

[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Zeke, Maziel, Pazza, Nachonut, sylvanaar, Kaidenn, Astaldo where are you?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: It would be a real shame if WIM was left to die.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: i think these forums are dead, Sylvanaar dosnt post on them as he only bug fixes when possible. WIMs future isnt very bright
[Guest] [justgiz]: Yea, its rather sad.
[Guest] [silvercola]: I wish it had skype

I get no lua errors so I prefixed this with issue instead.

There's 2 situations where WIM causes a 1-2 seconds "pause" / freeze in the UI.

If I get a whisper while in combat my current settings are such that it doesn't popup.

Instead I get a blinking text on the minimap button with however many messages I've missed.
All very nice sofar, it's what I expected 

After I get out of combat I have the User Interface "pause" / lag / freeze whatever you want to call it for 1-2 seconds,
when I take any of the following actions:
- click the blinking minimap button to show the list of senders.
- click the actual sender who's whispers I've missed to bring up the WIM message window.

We are aware of this issue, but unfortunately are no closer to tracking down it's source.

Just some more information regarding this and my personal experience. I use a LOT of add-ons and go through each of them with a fine tooth comb before adding them. I love WIM but lately I am tempted to remove it because frequently when I receive messages, Out of Combat, I have the UI freeze and then it comes back a few seconds later. Sometimes it doesn't do this. Also it *CAN* happen in combat but is much less frequently. This also happens even if I have a whisper up and receive a new whisper but does NOT happen if the person that I am currently whispering with replies. I thought maybe because I kept all chat history and had it show the last 50 messages which caused the delay. Well I disabled that and I still had these "freezes". So it seems that it is related to the new shiny graphics though due to the new base code there could be something more underlying going on. I also have my Windows Tabbed with the latest version and the fade effect turned off which seemed to improve it's performance slightly. I have a pretty powerful graphics card so I don't think it is that but this issue I hope can be addressed in the near future as I can't live without WIM .

I've had another variation of the same issue happen to me recently.

I got a couple whispers in quick succession while I was in combat and my fps really plummeted.
From 40-45 to 0.5 (half a frame per second).
The game appeared almost "frozen" although I could still hear the sounds from combat.
My fps didn't go back to normal until I exited combat.
(I was dead by that time as I had been unresponsive for 20-30sec)

Luckily post-3.0, groups can kill bosses in heroic even if the tank dies at 60% 

The difference from my first report is that I was|am getting a 1-2sec pause when I would click the minimap icon,
either to show the list of tells or to pick a tell from the list.
This time I didn't click the minimap icon, my game froze when I got 2 tells while I was in combat
(only realized that's what happened later by looking at the timestamps and comparing with the combatlog)

I would go ahead and update to the latest svn release guys. I really do thing this lag issue is finally gone.

[Pazza]

Nacho the svn isn't public..

[NachoNut]

I know. But the person i was replying to is a tester.. (green text no?) so he should have access...

[Astaldo]

Anyone with a curse account can checkout from the svn,
provided they know how to use an svn client

I'm using r133 currently, can't verify if problem is gone or not atm though.

I'll try to recreate the situations that were giving me trouble on purpose.

[Astaldo]

r133 (and I'm guessing r134 that got packaged for release) solved the problem for me.

I'll edit the title of the first post from [High] to [Fixed] unless you have reason to believe it isn't

I got several whispers in combat / while instancing and didn't have the UI freeze problem, good job.
