Expected Results:  
Not rearrange visibly on screen.

not exactly a bug, but an annoyance, visits are added lazily after about 3s if the menu is visible while the visit is added it gets updated...

Marco that can get to be quite annoying, and probably isn't the best experience for the end user.

Comment 4

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

heh, that won't change before 3.2, since we would have to remove lazy_add support to use async queries.

Comment 5

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

how about not changing the menu when it's open, deferring the change till after the menu is closed?

i fear that would break live-update of other history views, could be feasible though, but spending time on a workaround is probably not wanted atm.

i'm duping to bug 460385 since the underlying issue is the same (LAZY_ADD)
