- I found something like this when reading in a WP 4.0 document. I
- selected it from the file list (using the mouse), it displayed the
- "text conversion in progress" message and then just sat there for a
- long time. I then found that as soon as I moved the mouse, it returned.
- It turns out that the WP 4.0->5.1 conversion was taking a second or so,
- but the screen stayed frozen until the mouse was moved.
