Yes. For 2.77 it was the factory settings.

too fast at the send button ... and at my laptop, which is another Win 7 system. Means it is reproduceable at an independant system. It also happens with every obj file that i have tested. That was my first thought, that something is wrong with the obj file. But tested with several other files, and always same result.

Are you talking about cursor permanently becoming a square with numbers or only during import/export?

Not permanently. Just during import. Once done the cursor turns back to normal.

Have a look at the also attached video. It's short, but shows the issue much better than the image :)

@Bastien Montagne (mont29), is it an expected change to report progress of import/export?
