right-mouse-click menu slow!

[tcogill]

I have about 1400 database objects, 75 of which are views. When I highlight a view in the browser and right-mouse-click, it takes 58 seconds for the menu to appear. By that time I've switched to another app and miss the opportunity to use the menu... have to wait again.

Any options on my side I can set? Or is this a tool-performance thing?

Also, I'm using PL/SQL Developer version 5.1.2.687.

Could it be that you have an old version of the Browser Extender Plug-In installed? It included a Count option that could cause such delays.

Good thought. I disabled my Browser Extender plug-in and get instant response from the right-mouse-click. Even with a new download, same slowness. Guess I'll let Joachim know.

Thanks!

OK - the real issue was a misunderstanding of how the Browser Extender really worked. After email tag with the developer (thanks Joachim), here's the skinny:

"In Configuration window you can see an Actions page. This page defines two events (actions): onClick and onPopup.
=> onClick means that it is a code which is called when you click on an already displayed popup menu item.
=> onPopup keeps code which is executed before displaying the menu. This action is design to dynamicly change menu items!

If any onPopup item exists that means that you want call it probably for a menu caption change - it must be called. If you do not need dynamicly display menu captions please use onClick action.
"

In my case, I created a "select *" item, and also put it into the onPopup action. So whenever I would right-mouse-click on a view, it would go out and perform that statement on the view before displaying the menu. Moral of the story: keep onPopup items as fast as possible!
