Package.Update loops through Element Collection!

[Paolo F Cantoni]

One of my Add-Ins creates Neighborhood Diagrams - for a given element find the nearest connected elements in the model.

When I run the Add-In to create/update the diagram, Even though I have the UI updating turned off, EA will go through a list of elements, displaying them on the status bar in the Status Bar compartment where it displays the selected browser element.

When you do a Package.Update (having added an Element), the list on the status bar is "spun through".  

Now normally, this isn't a major problem because the list is small.

However, I've just reverse engineered a package with over 1200 elements.  So it takes about 5 mins to run though the list (during which time EA is blocked)!

This looping shouldn't happen on a Package.Update and certainly NOT if the UI Update has been disabled!

As you know EA often does not behave as it's supposed to be. The same goes for the Enable Cache which also seems to do nothing like the Disable Update. Report a bug and wait....
