I dont get the new design. I cant prioritize an address but i can chose send from for an address. But shortly after, probably after a redraw, the window with the addresses in send-tab is gone again. I fill the amount, target and so on but no window for the source address. I have to rightclick the sending address again.

What disturbs too is that the list of addresses seems to be redrawn even more often. So when i want to copy a detail from an address description i end up doing it more than once because everything was reset. The same goes when i want to change the size of columns. When i dont close and restart electrum fast then the setting is gone and reset.
When i check addresses to find a certain one its extremely annoying to have to scroll down again and again too.

I dont see why the whole list has to be rewritten all the time. If details change why not simply change the details?

I now will try to be fast enough being able to send from the address i want.
This has been an issue for me for a long time. It's quite annoying. A couple times I started looking at fixing it and doing a pull request but after exploring it seems to be more complicated than a simple fix. But one thing I was thinking is that if any address line is selected then the updated could be blocked, or less often. Right now it just becomes a real pain to do anything more than a quick glance at addresses. If you need to spend time checking some values or doing something then you are constantly having to re-scroll and re-open groups. A more comprehensive fix would update contents in some less destructive way than just reseting and refilling.

Terminal:
  electrum -w /electrum_data/wallets/default_wallet - starts the client!
  electrum -w /electrum_data/wallets/default_wallet deseed - nothing!

  It seems that the "deseed" command isn't working.

Working in 1.9.6
It doesn't work with the portable build.

1.9.6 mac fails to connect to network (red light in lower right) and nothing happens when network button or menu item is clicked/chosen. 1.9.4 works fine.

On my OSX 10.9 it took a first run of 1.9.6, quit, then second run to get network green.

ThomasV, could you please have a quick look at this thread (its a bit old already, are you aware of this, is it fixed already or is it meant to be that way intentionally? What does the corresponding BIP say about it?)

"deseed" is not available in the python console. it is only available in the terminal.
--> How do I use the deseed command with a windows build?
Use the command line of course.

Bring up the command prompt and run

electrum --help

for more information.
 Sorry, but it doesn't work that way!
 It would be nice if ThomasV could give a hint on this.

in a terminal:
Code:
electrum -w /path/to/your/wallet deseed

if you cannot use a terminal, use the 'restore' menu to create a watching only wallet

it improves security. previous versions used to write the unencrypted seed first.
however, there is no guarantee that the encrypted wallet will be written on the same disk sector.
Thanks.

Changes:
 - During wallet creation, does not write seed to disk until it is encrypted.
  What does that mean in practice?
