Has to move cursor during import! Bug?

I imported 500 refs from bibtex. The counter had a habit of stopping after having imported 20 refs. When I move the cursor 20 more are imported. And swo on... This is not a big problem when you know how to avoid it. Is there something I should know?

Hi,

This sounds like the same issue we recently had with XML export. I never see this behavior on my Macs, and reports are rare. I'm guessing something is eating the UI update. Perhaps you can contact me directly and we can explore this...

Jon,
I don't think it is worth anybodys time to track down the reason for this. It is such a minor issue. It will probably go away with time. Call it a feature: During import BE wants the user to stay awake and follow what happens. The time is only a few seconds and I don't think big imports happen every day.

More interesting is that I might have found a bug in conversion of nonascii characters. More about that later if it is real.
