Holded window becames freezed. Bug or feature?

[MaxX]

When:
* dragging window with mouse;
* after pressing alt+space;
* scrolling with a LMB on right scrollbar;
* etc, ...

I get:
* frozen window untill movement/scroll action is complete.

As I see, that can be useful when I need temporary (for a while) pause working process to make background tasks work faster, but it's annoying when you really don't need to pause working process...

Is it bug or feature?

I'm not sure, what you mean by freezing. Could you provide a few step-by-step instructions?

I meen that all the actions are being paused untill I release mouse button or close Alt+Space menu.

I haven't noticed such behavior.

Just try it... You'll notice.

I don't know what I should be looking for. Are you talking about background/foreground operation dialogs, background operations inside TC's main window (folder refresh, ...) or something else?

That's why I asked for a step-by-step instructions.

What I tried: I started a copy operation in a standard foreground copy dialog (simple F5) and while the file was being copied, I tried to move the dialog on my screen. However the operation did not stop while I was doing that.

This is normal when the actual operation is performed in the foreground (user interface) thread. Total Commander uses a background thread only for some operations like copying, which you can then move to the background. Only such operations run separately from the user interface.

Ok, thanks for info.
