For some time I have been noticing that accessing the dictionary in RunRev freezes up the application for a few moments, and I think I have finally figured out why - my employer, for whatever reason, has something in the firewall configuration that prevents RunRev from accessing the notes (it always says "No Internet connection available" in the notes section though I defaintely have a connection), and I believe that it's the check and fail for a connection that is causing the slowdown.

Is there anyway to just disable the notes feature so RunRev doesn't do the check anymore?

On the other hand, if I can find out why it's failing (my guess is the use of a port other than 80 or something since I have no trouble accessing the rev website, which I asume is at the same domain as the notes) then I might be able to get the admins to change the firewall config.

Thanks!

If you open the preferences and go to the Documenation pane, you can turn on Multiple Columns and uncheck Notes.

I tried that, but it doesn't prevent the dictionary from trying to load the notes in the body of the entry.
The screenshot below shows my current config, multiple columns with notes turned off. It still tries to load the notes and fails to find a connection, as you can see att he bottom of the screenshot. This locks up revolution for about 10 seconds each time...

edgore,

I can imagine how annoying this is. It seems that all you can do is to report this as a bug.

Best,

Mark
