Leaving CRC's Post Comment window open when closing a CR comments tab put CRC into a CPU spiking state. This version provides a fix.
Big Kudos to Jay Sundahl for tracking down a reproducible scenario of this problem!

The fix seems to be working for me.
Glad to hear it. The bug was pretty clear once I was able to see it. Firefox has lots of timing issues...
Hi Ken -
CR Companion (1.09) no longer allows me to choose the "filter" level.
Appears to be permanently stuck on "All but irritating"
The box to select the level is gone...

Hi Ken -
I've tried reinstalling cr companion & disabling all other add-ons but still no "filter" controls.
An ideas?
thanks

Anonymous - do you see any filter controls?
Ken - problem solved.
Didn't realize should just hit the "funnel"
Operator error.
Thanks.

Hi Ken,
Would it be possible to change the commenter list so that they all show up no matter what the filter level is? As the noise level has risen, I've moved to "Good or Better" setting, but since I move between computers, I have trouble keeping the list up to date without switching back to "All" to see if there's anyone I want to read that I haven't managed to tag as good+.
Thanks again for keeping CR comments useable.
MLM, I've been distracted by other projects lately, but I'll add that to the list.
Sounds like the real issue is syncing your preferences...
I didn't dare even bring it up.
same request as MLM

I just may not be able to get to them for a bit.
otishertz here,
ken. when pasting from open office cr companion would usually omit hard returns, creating long hard to read paragraphs.
also when leaving the tab with crc to fetch a link or some more text from another tab or document the cursor would usually vanish and editing would not really work. during such times i noticed the if i selected text in crc i could not delete it.
Thanks, Otis! Great info. Open office... I'll see about trying that out. I haven't used it before - I assume we're talking about their Word equivalent?
Also, are you using 1.09?
I just reproduced the second problem you mentioned, with 1.09. Pretty easy. I guess I should post more.

OK, but remember that you asked for it. :)
When a CR post has 600 comments, my firefox freezes for ~20secs upon opening the window. I am guessing that CRC has some blocking thread. (one example of a big thread. I am guessing that performing the CRC in a non-blocking thread is too large a project to contemplate.
Perhaps a button for shutting off the companion? Or
if (posts > user_set_value) disable
... with a button to turn it on (and wait)for the result.
JP, javascript in the browser is single threaded, unfortunately. And javascript is pretty slow. I'll see what I can do. I could at least slow the update interval for longer threads. Thanks for letting me know.
