When you have a chat open that has a large number of messages. 4-5 pages worth, that is, the pager starts flickering every 4-5 seconds.
Now, while this chat is open, any BYOND update or private message you receive will freeze the client for 20-30 seconds, and the update notification will play once every 5 seconds 4 to 6 times. The entire app becomes unresponsive during this time.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1) Spam Tom.
2) Apparently, don't be Tom.
Expected Results:
App stays responsive, app doesn't try to give me seizures.
Actual Results:
Tom gets angry and pagerbans you.
When does the problem NOT occur?
Skype.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
This has been occurring since the new pager came out. Everyone I have talked to has this issue. I have seen a number of other bug reports on this, but it remains "unverified" or resolved. No BYOND update has resolved this issue satisfactorily for me.
Workarounds:
Skype.
