#%@*!ing "Loading contents..."

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

when editing objects, i often go to the "Contents" tab because i'm a scripter (go figure). well, as of 0.4.3, i would occasionally just get "Loading contents..." at the bottom of the edit window, but it would never show me the contents of the object. usually if i swapped it in and out of my inventory a few times, it would eventually let me view the contents. however, with 0.5.1, this bug has gotten 50x worse. now, i have to make like 10 copies of an item, in hopes that one of them will allow me to view the contents. i can swap the items in/out of inv as many times as i want, relog, do wtf ever, and still no contents tab. HELP!!!

(btw, i already submitted this via the bug submission menu item in SL, but i submitted it in 0.4.3, so i dunno if the lindens thought this had been fixed -- it hasn't)

*BUMP*

still happening in 0.5.2...

did i mention, this affects note cards (and scripts in my inventory) too? when trying to view a note card, 75% of the time i get "Loading...", and when i go to close the card, it asks me if i want to save it! (of course, i say no)

THIS IS MADDENING!

i can't possibly be the only one this affects...

can i?

I have never had this happen to me. Sorry.

I had this happen to me when 0.5.0 was released I believe. I haven't had it happen lately with the new updates. I just had to relog and I could load contents again. It effected both my notecards and scripts as well.

it happens to me a lot. I have to relog sometimes to be able to edit my objects.

Was hoping someone would answer your thread with a fix, or a "we'll look into it", or an "ahhh, i have heard of this ancient enemy...and you are cursed for all time!"

Just so you know you are not crazy, I have been plagued with "Loading contents" since i started this game...and have received so many blank looks and non-answers that i have finally accepted it as part of my game experience.

Thanks Phil for trying to get an answer. I pass the torch to you. Godspeed!

Ok, ok, ok, we'll look into it. (I'll at least make certain that it's in our bug tracking system and given the appropriate priority.)

Thanks for being persistent about this!

YAY!! They'll look into it! Ive had this problem a few times since .50, .51 AND .52. I was able to solve with a relog, but its combersome and annoying to relog everytime one gets that error. (HORRID after closing, then I cant relog until next day *and* I cant view most of the stuff in my inventory (note cards, object contents, etc...)

Ty for looking into this LL

well for a while it looked like it had been mostly fixed in 0.6 ... i had no problems reading notecards/scripts/etc in my inventory, and very seldom got the "loading contents" issue on the contents tab while editing an object.

however, it's back with a vengeance. while trying to script my lovely havana cigars, it ended up taking me two days because i had to relog for at least 1/3 of my attempts to edit the script, and one particularly nasty bug occurred after login hours and i couldn't edit it, so i had to put it up and wait until the next day to edit it.

Phil, I get the same problem on a semi regular basis. I just put it down to the sim being really busy. But I've had it happen to me once or twice on empty sims. Definitely frustrating.

Yeah I got this too. Not as much as you but it's really annoying. I think I get it most when there's a lag.
When I relog it usually works again. I did look at the errors in the debug console. I can't remember exactly but after a time you get something like : "gettext timed out"
Don't know exactly but I'm pretty sure it involved a text, and a timeout.

I get this too, but only when i'm severely lagged
