[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [34590] trunk/blender/source/blender/ python/intern: workaround [#25845] Empty UI panels

[Campbell Barton]

Reverted the render part of this commit which checks for "render()"
calls, r25845.
Re-opened the bug and assigned to Brecht.

Since this functionality is broken (not thread safe and causes python
to give errors), I didn't think existing scripts depended on this.

If disabling operator calls during draw() functions is also a problem
I can revert that part of the commit too but I really think this is
bad practice so left in for now.
