Thanks Ilan, I'll look out for that the next time it happens in my own worlds and report back.

OK, I've managed to check the stats while it was happening. There was no spike in lost packets, but the packets sent and received remained high all the time I had the prim contents open in the editor.

This graph shows the increased activity while I had the prim open, with the troughs corresponding exactly to when I closed the editor:

The only other activity while I was there was IM chat, which was happening pretty much constantly during that period.

Handy, you are not alone. This has happened to me. Not very often but usually when I'm in a hurry, have another appointment, need to just see the inventory again for ONE SECOND.

I think it has happened to me on other grids, but I can't be sure. I always assume it is caused by OpenSim or the Viewer not recovering from a lost packet.

Thanks, Kayaker. Someone else I was talking to today said it occasionally happened to them, but not often.

It's happened to me on about eight different occasions today already. My role in Kitely involves a lot of accessing prim contents, but I'm surprised that it's such a difference - surely any busy merchant such as yourself will be opening containers all the time?

EDITED to add: In fact, while I was writing this another prim contents was failing to load. :)

This happens to me as well. I've just experienced it on a hypergrid-enabled minigrid using an avie native to that grid.

The contents of the first couple of objects opened fine (I was tweaking a script), but the next went into "Loading contents..." mode.

The contents tab in each case contained a script and a sound.

Thanks Dot, that's interesting, especially since it confirms it can happen on prims with only a couple of items in the contents.

Another screenshot of a world statistics here (this time, one of my own worlds, with objects I own):

https://gyazo.com/552b951ff693765c6fbcc81fa4bc1c68

Ignore the first spike and trough - the activity after that is holding the edit window open during an unsuccessful attempt to access the contents (maybe 40-50 items) of a prim. Then I shift-dragged the prim to make a copy and deleted the original, and opened the copy, which successfully loaded. I held that open for a while.

There's a distinct difference between the network activity of the unsuccessful and successful attempts. I don't know if this is any help in pinning down what's happening here.

We updated Kitely today, and made loading of object contents much faster and more reliable. See: https://www.kitely.com/virtual-world-ne ... ore-fonts/
