Description Matthew Truch 2006-06-02 18:00:52 UTC

Version:           1.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When you are viewing non-live data, or looking at old data (by using a fixed data samples range, and not in read to end mode, kst will continue to perform calculations, and consume much cpu (if you have alot of calculations).  Kst will not do so, if you click pause.  It is expected that kst will realize that the data is not changing, and not need to re-perform the calculations.

Please attach a session that reproduces this.

Kst file that demonstrates bug.

Here's the exact .kst file when we first noticed this.	Even when the data
isn't live, when paused, kst consumes no cpu, when un-paused, kst consumes a
beefy chunk of cpu every update cycle.

This appears to be a regression.

Comment 4 Netterfield 2006-06-19 05:14:12 UTC

Seems to be related to reading a bad vector from a dirfile.  We will look at it more the next run.
