Description

I get the following repetitive message while running phy2:

XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2

Also phy is running really slow, there is a long wait after switching clusters or any other operation I do.
It only happens when I have the trace view window.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in phy2 with the trace view window open, switching clusters and performing other operations while watching for the XmbTextListToTextProperty result code -2 message. Trace the trace-view implementation and its rendering or window-update path to identify the source of the delay. Done means the repetitive message and associated slowdown no longer occur during those operations.
