Holy cow :-)

I have seen this happen sometimes - the tooltip closes
*very* quickly as if the mouse has moved while it hasn't.
It always happened erratically and proved elusive to
tracking down.

No, salaam only contains a few (15 or so). I was asking
Richard whether he really wants a way to list *all* patients
in the patient search box. I did indeed (performance) test
the GNUmed demographics schema and search code with an
import of 150-thousand patients (on a Pentium 1 133 MHz with
32 MB RAM ;-) It proved well acceptable. The import was
taken from the live database of one of the clinics I work at
(so the large number is not at all fictitious).

It should only take that long the first time per patient
that a particular plugin is activated. Also, when searching
for/activating a patient we already display an hourglass.

Please point out specific places you would want the
hourglass to appear ...

What does "nothing" mean ? Nothing nothing as in "nothing" ?
It might be you are experiencing the same bug Richard is
seeing. I'll investigate that once I install wx2.6.

Fixed. Really, it's a matter of taste.

Fixed in CVS.

Likely not as it's shortened to 4 characters anyways.

Yes, it jumps to the last notebook page that was inserted...
Fixed to always display the first notebook page first.

The status message only changes when it is actively changed.
There's no timeout on it or anything. If someone wants to
enhance the statusbar class - fine - mini-project ...

Done.
