Editor window improvement - concordance search destibilizes the work on editor by switching to "translation results"

Hi Team, in Trados Studio 2022 in Editor, after clicking anything on anything in windows "Translation Results", "Fragment Matches", "Concordance Search", "Comments", "Messages" - and then clicking on text in the Editor, everything "refreshes" by going back to the "Translation Results" to be viewed (probably this was set as a default in the programing code).

Only after that "refresh" is done we can go back to working on text editor. This "refresh" can take 30 seconds or even 1 minute regardless of the size of the project the translator is working on and therefore delays the production and impacts our view into e.g. concordance search results when we need them in clear view under the text Editor.

As Translators we find it to be a significant issue as we need to work as efficiently as possible but that error does not allow us to do this.

We would incredibly grateful if you could fix it and allow the chosen window to stay as visible without refreshing back to "Translation Results".

  •  would you kindly tell us how big are the TMs you work with? The refresh is actually done when you click in target and the editor asks the Translation Results View to display, switching from Concordance Search. 

    The spinning icon for the mouse means a huge amount of processing is done in a very short time, which at first glance might be very big TMs.

    Another way to help us is to check again with a small TM and see if this persists. 

    An improvement will be logged on this, but it would help greatly if we have an idea where is this issue coming from.

  • In this connection, I found in Studio 2022 SR1 that one had to jiggle the files in the Files window in order to refresh & update the confirmation statistics, graphics and figures. I think this updating problem is a kindred ailment, and if it persists in SR2, it should  be addressed, it seems to me, in the same breath as the move Agnieszka advocates. Obviously it would be up to Paul and the RWS team to discern this.
