Progress bar in CS5

Question

I have an progress bar object that stoped working in CS5, it worked well in CS4.
If I alert the string (str) in set_info it updates the palette, it updates fine. So it seems that i have to update the window some how.
this.progress.layout.layout(true); did not work.
var Progress = {
  progress: null,
  show_panel: function() {
    this.progress = new Window(
      "palette { \
        progressInfo: StaticText { text: '', size: [400, 16] }, \
        subInfo: StaticText { text: '', size: [400, 16] }, \
        mainProgressBar: Progressbar { size: [400, 10] }, \
        subProgressBar: Progressbar { size: [400, 10] } \
      }", "Progress"
    this.progress.progressInfo.text = "Startar import...";
    this.progress.center();
    this.progress.show();
  set_info: function(str) {
    this.progress.progressInfo.text = str;
    this.progress.subInfo.text = '';

I just found some time to do some serious testing. It had to be set of by a menu item to trigger it.
So what this is is a menu item with a script menu action.
Not that I start by removing all existing script menu actions, if you like to test my code.
It triggers a function that makes a dialog and the word Start sets, it centers and is shown.
Right after this I try changing the text to Test, then sleep for 3 seconds and then an alert.
I would expect the text to be Test so fast that you wint see the 'Start' text at all, but it wont show until the alert.
In my big script I open documents, add pages etc, but the progress bar doesn´t update until its all finished.
I think this is a bug, or i´m missing something..?
I tried the exact same script in CS4 and it worked, so it seems to be a new thing.
#targetengine 'session' test_menu = app.menus.item('$ID/Main').submenus.add('Test'); app.scriptMenuActions.everyItem().remove(); app.menus.item('$ID/Main').submenus.item('Test').submenus.everyItem().remove(); var test_sub_menu = app.scriptMenuActions.add('Test'); test_sub_menu.eventListeners.add('onInvoke', function() {      var win = new Window(           "palette { \                info_line: StaticText { text: '', size: [400, 16] }, \                bar: Progressbar { size: [400, 10] } \           }",           "Progress"      );      win.info_line.text = "Start";      win.center();      win.show();      win.info_line.text = "Test";      $.sleep(3000);            alert('Test');            win.close();      }); test_menu.menuItems.add(test_sub_menu);
