I've heard from a reliable source that Altium have, from day one, deliberately added a "random sleep" routine into Circuit Maker in order to make it deliberately unproductive.
This apparently has lead to all sorts of "bugs" like random stuff on the screen, things vanishing when placing etc, mostly in the schematic editor, slow use etc.
People have been reporting this stuff for years as bugs, but it seems it's a side effect of a deliberate action in the code to make the product unproductive.
I've also heard that the newly acquired Upverter team are aware of this (Circuit Maker is going to become "Upverter Desktop") and they are not happy, trying to get it removed.
I can understand not wanting the free Circuit Maker to compete with Altium Designer, but surely this has to be the worst and most stupid way to go about it?
Discuss!
