Can't switch to the "Share" tab!

After creating a single Share Room, I can no longer switch to the "Share" tab in SpiderOak for OS X. It highlights the tab (but doesn't remove the highlight from whichever tab I was previously on), and then the GUI completely locks up. It also starts using a ton of CPU (80%+) and keeps doing for at least 15 minutes until I kill it.

E.O. marked one of SpiderOak's replies in SpiderOak as useful. SpiderOak replied to the problem "Under Leopard using Spaces, the current space frequently switches to SpiderOak's for no good reason.".

I dunno if you've realized this for yourself yet, but I got back this response a while ago:

Yostinso,

Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in SpiderOak.

As it pertains to your question, unfortunately we do not support backing up at the file level - only at the folder level. There are many reasons for this decision but the main one being organization. As we allow users to attach as many different devices to their SpiderOak Network as they would like, it is much easy and efficient to track the movement of files within folders than single stand-alone files.

I do hope this methodology has not caused too much of an inconvenience and please don't hesitate to send further thoughts or reactions anytime.

Best wishes,

Ethan

Under Leopard using Spaces, the current space frequently switches to SpiderOak's for no good reason.

If I use a keyboard shortcut to move into and then out of the "space" that SpiderOak is open on while it's "building", about a second later, I get switched back to the space. This generally only happens if I move across quickly.

If I were to guess, I'd say that SpiderOak sees that it's gotten focus (by me switching to the space), but it's busy (pinwheel-cursor busy) building. Once it gets done building, it says "Aha, I have focus, pay attention to me," causing OS X to switch back to that space, but by then I've moved on to another space.

My workaround is to wait for my mouse cursor to stop being a pinwheel (as SpiderOak moves on to the next file to build) and switch spaces right then.
