My team and I are experiencing 30+ seconds of unresponsiveness from the ‘Repositories and workspaces’ tab as the repository list refreshes. This refresh seems to have a hairpin trigger and totally locks up the repo list UI until it completes.
What makes this particularly painful is that most people’s natural reaction to a busy/unresponsive app is to click away to work on something else in the meantime. However, the DevOps client punishes this instinct by automatically re-refreshing the repository list whenever the window regains focus. I can’t say how many times I triggered an unnecessary follow-up refresh just out of the pure instinct to click away from the loading bar. (33 seconds feels like an eternity.)
Is this a known issue? And is there a way to disable the automatic refresh? Our org currently has 32 repositories and presumably this problem will worsen as we add more.
