Transcript Browser completely non-functional

[adegeus]

Selecting "Transcript Browser" in the Window menu, or hitting command-4 -- neither do anything at all.

I was about to say, works for me but then I keyed command-4 and Colloquy began to beach ball … whilst Colloquy was not responding I brought Safari to foreground and began drafting this comment.

After waiting long enough, the Colloquy transcript window did appear (behind Safari).

My environment:

• 2007-10-15 version 2.1 (3761) of Colloquy
• Mac OS X 10.5.5
• Intel MacBook Pro, first generation, 2 GB RAM

@ adegeus

Please: if you wait long enough, does the transcript window appear?

(I'm not suggesting that a wait is normal/desirable, just aiming to refine the summary line of this ticket.)

FWIW here's a lazy copy of top output, taken shortly after Colloquy returned to normal:
