Just try the following: 1. Open an untitled text file 2. Switch between the Package Exlorer and the text editor 3. Observe the delay of how the tool items get updated (500 ms are way too much) Now imagine that a whole toolbar (e.g. in a GEF/GMF application) gets enabled/disabled. The delay will be much more noticable (whole toolbar flashing with that delay), and this will make the UI *feel* sluggish. I know that the tool item updater has been done for reasons of laziness. However, I think that using the "tracked access" feature of the contexts, it should be possible to get rid of this. Or, the periodic item updater could be replaced with a non-periodic one once the tool item has been enabled for the first time.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
Closing as fixed. This problem no longer exists.
