[Gramps-devel] Edit Person dialog question

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

I have discovered that the GtkCombo widget (the text box with the drop
down menu) is rather slow to load up. By changing the Surname field to
use a normal text entry with autocompletion, the load up time of the
Edit Person dialog significantly decreased on larger databases.

However, if you have a lot of places defined, the drop down menu for the
place of birth and the place of death can also really slow down the load
time. I'm not sure if autocompletion is the correct thing to do here.
This isn't just a name - its a reference to object.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this a bit better?
