Long scripts seems to be the recipe, at least for me. Bob S > On Apr 13, 2021, at 03:11 , Andre Garzia via use-livecode > wrote: > > I see it on my two windows machine but never on the mac….

I see it on my two windows machine but never on the mac….

Re: Intermittent typing delay in script editor.
Based on the sum of anecdotal evidence, it would appear contributory factors may be primarily outdated/suboptimal Win timer APIs, coupled with overzealous file I/O from frequent DB (Dict?) accesses, perhaps others. The workaround would be time spent focusing on just those specifics. The solution would be to commit the IDE team to spending at least one full work day each week to doing their work on Windows (bonus points if they spend one day a fortnight on Linux). As a multi-platform tool, scripting work should be robustly productive regardless of platform. Wherever it isn't merits attention. Direct first-hand experience within the core team will bring about immediate awareness, and thereby resolution, of issues long before potential new users uninstall LC for its uncommon slowness on Windows (or UI anomalies/feature abandonment on Linux). -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems thompsonmichael wrote: > I am using LC Indy 9.6.1 Build 15522 in Windows 10 on a Dell XPS - > 15-9570 with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz > Processor, with 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) RAM, and a Toshiba 256GB > Solid State Drive. > > LC normally works lightning fast on this setup but over the last > couple of years I would occasionally experience a sudden slow down > in the script editor for no apparent reason.

Re: Intermittent typing delay in script editor.
Ooo, you are right Michael, I've had it in the past where if there were large amounts of text in either the message box response field or in a variable window (if you double click a variable in the variables list) that has a large amount of data, then it would be a tad slower. But I get that on the mac too interestingly. I just tried it by copying soo lorum ipsum into the message box response field. So this isn't limited to Windows. Interesting.

Intermittent typing delay in script editor.
I am using LC Indy 9.6.1 Build 15522 in Windows 10 on a Dell XPS - 15-9570 with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz Processor, with 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) RAM, and a Toshiba 256GB Solid State Drive. LC normally works lightning fast on this setup but over the last couple of years I would occasionally experience a sudden slow down in the script editor for no apparent reason. (Delays of seconds sometimes between typing and the type appearing on the screen) I would close everything and restart Livecode and all would be well again. It didn't happen very often so I tolerated it. Eventually I noticed this only happened when I used the 'Message Box'. I usually put results into a text field rather than use the message box but on occasion when I wrote a 'Put' command with out a destination (in error) the result the message box would appear. It was only after that that the slowdown would occur. I am still tolerating it and closing LC when it happens but wonder if anyone else has experienced this and if there is a work around. I have given up on using the Message Box deliberately unless absolutely necessary. See Lagi's post on O7Apr2021 >>>The unresponsiveness in Big Su is fixed and Ive only been asking for 3 or 4 >>>years that the unresponsiveness in windows 10 (and probably 7) >>>is fixed. >>>Unresponsive to me is typing 10 characters and seeing them appear one by >>>1 after I have finished typing , or waiting for 3 4 or more seconds >>>between each debugger step ..
