The parser will pause from working on lower-priority operations and give priority to any parse operation with a higher priority.
This status bar example shows the following queue (words not yet parsed): 631 low-priority words, 26 medium-priority words, and 0 high-priority words. It also displays the word currently being parsed.
This example resulted from this sequence of steps:
Parse All Words (low priority) was clicked. Then, at the point when there were 631 words in the low-priority queue, Parse Words in Text (medium priority) was clicked.
The parser paused from parsing the 631 low-priority words until all the medium-priority words were parsed.
(If a high-priority operation, such as Try a Word, was commanded before the remaining 26 medium-priority words parsed, then the parser would pause from the medium-priority words until the high-priority operation was done.)
