Summary
-------

Extra Dependencies list is slow and unreliable when Distro-specific

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

The list of Extra Dependencies is a mess when the "Same dependencies for all targets" checkbox is unchecked. For example, I have zbar set as a requirement - on Debian and Ubuntu, the package name is "zbar-tools", on every other OS, it's just "zbar". When I choose one distro or another in the dropdown, it often takes a few seconds for the changes to become apparent, even when there are no other extra dependencies in the list. This ends up having troubling effects when trying to add new dependencies to each distro in turn, as you have to pause between each dropdown selection before making any additions or changes to the list, which can be even messier if different distros have the same list, since you can't tell when the change has occurred. The result can be that a target distro can be skipped when updating, or can even be overwritten by a different distro's list.


My suggestion is to simply disable the list and all the buttons when things are loading, if the load time is for some reason unavoidable.



Side Note: I'm not using any version numbers in these tests.
