To improve responsiveness and perceived performance, jEdit executes all buffer input/output operations asynchronously. While I/O is in progress, the status bar displays the number of remaining I/O operations. The Utilities>Troubleshooting>I/O Progress Monitor command displays a window with more detailed status information and progress meters. This window is floating by default, but it can be set to dock into the view in the Docking pane of the Utilities>Global Options dialog box; see the section called “Window Docking”. I/O requests can also be aborted in this window, however note that aborting a buffer save can result in data loss.
