'''Change the UI toolkit''' The [https://subsurface-divelog.org/ Subsurface open source divelog program] had somewhat similar problems with their UI, and resolved these by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON0A1dsQOV0 migrating from Gtk to Qt] See [http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/Display-update-after-dismissing-a-dialog-tp4672434p4672494.html] and [http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/Gramps-5-0-Decisions-tp4672349p4672562.html]. <blockquote>I think we have many of the same problems with our using of gtk as the people in the video (the problem of how to get into an editing state - having to double click to open a new editing window is exactly the same as with gramps).<br> <br>
 
It was clear that for them switching between gtk and qt was a mammoth amount of effort, and they had lots of support and many really good developers. So unfortunately I think it would be out of the question for us, nice though it might be. </blockquote>
