ArcGIS Desktop Dialog Initialization Performance Patch

Published: January 11, 2019

Summary

This patch resolves performance issues that cause several dialogs in the ArcMap user interface to open slowly.

Description

EsriĀ® announces the ArcGIS Desktop Dialog Initialization Performance Patch. Some dialogs in the ArcMap user interface have long initialization times, making them slow to open. This problem is especially severe on machines that have a large number of fonts installed. The affected dialogs include Layer Properties (for feature layers), Options, Symbol Property Editor (for character markers), and Label Manager, though the slowdown happens on any dialog with the font picker control. This patch deals specifically with the issue listed below under Issues Addressed with this patch.

Issues Addressed with this patch

  • BUG-000113336 - Dialogs that include the font picker control, including Layer Properties, Options, Character Marker Editor, and Label Manager, open very slowly.
To avoid conflicts in 10.6.1, this patch also addresses:
  • BUG-000115147 - When calling ITopologicalOperator::Buffer on a polygon, if the polygon is degenerated to a point, the buffer call crashes.
To avoid conflicts in 10.6, this patch also addresses:
  • BUG-000117631 - Add support for TLS version 1.2 and 1.1.
