GUI workspace variable updating

[Richard Crozier]

Dear list,

I know this has been discussed already, but, in the development sources 
(default branch, not gui, so apologies if it's not like this in the 
gui-release branch) I notice the workspace variables update while a 
calculation is running. Personally I see no need for this, especially in 
light of the performance issues discussed recently.

As a GUI user I would expect variables to be available/editable under 
the following circumstances:

1. In the workspace when not running a calculation
2. When debugging

I don't see any reason to update or make accessible these at other 
times. They usually change too fast to look at them anyway.

Regards,
Richard
