EA refuses to show diagrams

[ngong]

Sometimes, ~ 2 times a day, I ran into the situation that EA constantly shows one diagram. If I click any other diagram a new tab shows up and seems to be selected, but the content of the screen does not change to the selected diagram. Still the same that is constantly shown.

I can click any other tab - representing an opened diagram - the tab has changed color, looks like if it is selected, but the content of the main area of the window has not changed - still showing the constantly shown one.

One exception is, when I select the "Start Page" tab, that one shows up - but now this is the constantly shown main window content. I am not able to change the window content regardless what I am doing in EA.

It does not help to close and re-open the project in EA. The only work-around I found so far is closing and re-opening EA. Is there any better advice?

I am using EA build 1351 on Win7.

Kind Regards

Not that I've ever experienced this, but is there any possible correlation with the number of elements shown on those diagrams?

I can have 2 or 10 diagrams open - each should be selectable by its tab. Diagrams usually shall show a few to moderate number of elements (<20). However, the model is not small in size - 50MByte after compression.

I will monitor whether certain open diagrams are part of the open diagrams in order to follow the idea, that a specific diagram is causing this strange behavior.

However, I would like to know if any other has noticed a similar behavior of EA UI.

Do you have any more details on your environment. I'm guessing you are using an eap file for the repository and maybe its on a shared drive that is accessed over the network. If that guess is correct you may be suffering from a delay/lag over the network. If its a local Hard Disk maybe the disk has some errors and slowing down access.
Just some thoughts there you could investigate.

FYI - I've got a SQL repository which I transfer to eap for snapshots for time to time for testing jscripts etc. I use the file on a local SSD drive and is 880Mb in size so significantly bigger than yours and I don't have those issues with diagrams.

Hope that helps in some way.

Same here. Our .eap (snapshot) is also in the 700+ Mb range (after compacting) and no major problem with diagrams - although as mentioned in another topic - we have UPGRADED to Jetv4.  Jet 3.x had problems with large files.  If you haven't already, try compacting the file.

Thank you Sunshine and Cantoni, good to know that the size is not big.
However, I have not seen the obstacle for a few days now - since I converted to Win10.

On Win7 I used an eap file totally local, and repaired and compressed it from time to time.
