Hi! I would like a Progress Dialog for operations that take more than a few seconds. Recently I ran a regex replace all on a very big file. After pressing the Replace All I had no way of knowing how mush of the operation was left, no way of cancelling the operation, and no way of knowing if the application has crashed. I would like a progress dialog with a progress bar and an cancel button. This should appear for all operations that take more than a few seconds, examples include search/replace and macros.
Also during the replace operation, when switching to another window and then back to JEdit, the JEdit window became grey and behaved strange. Maybe this could be some problem with repaint being blocked or delayed. Better thread handling maybe?
Thanks for the best text editor!
