Why does the PC "grind" when I click back and forth between the translations results window and editor?

Michael Schroeder

This is some high-level "complaining" but it's slowing me down so I'm trying to understand. I am using the latest version of Studio 2021 (SR1 16.1.8.4404)

I use hotkeys to often move from the editor window to the translation results window (or concordance, they are tabbed in the same window on top; it's a conventional setup) to copy text or run searches. Whenever the mouse pointer is moved to the TR window and clicked, even without hotkeys, I get the "grinding wheel" that the program is doing something - always. The same when I click back into the editor window (active row). The grinding only takes place for a couple seconds each time, but a couple seconds is a lot when you do it so often.

I for the life of me can't figure out what the program needs to be looking up here, i.e. the reason for the grind.

Questions:

Is this happening to everyone?

Is there a feature that causes this that can be turned off?

Thanks for any information that can help me!

    Hi Michael. I found your old question and I decided to answer because I am sufferring from the same issue at the moment. In my case it started when I moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The same Trados versions (2019 and 2021) have this grinding wheel problem when switching between Editor and Translation Results/Concordance windows. It's not long, maybe half a second, but very annoying because it wasn't happening before. I also noticed that when I click either window, the whole menu (ribbon) changes, i.e. some options become greyed out or black. I think the grinding wheel may be connected with the action of refreshing the menus. Minimizing the ribbon doesn't help. I even have a similar PC configuration: Intel Core i5-2500 CPU @ 3.50GHz and 16 GB of RAM plus SSD drive. I think it may be related to Windows 10 settings but I don't know where to look yet. Have you solved your issue by this time? If you have, could you tell me how? Thanks in advance!
