Herman,
I had significant problems with the editor and editing very large
files. I could not undo ever without a crash, and the cursor and what
was shown on the widow did not match the actual location in the file.
I think it was a memory management problem due to the very large file
size. I could edit small files in the same instance, and everything
worked fine.
I finally broke up my large file into about 20 include files. That
seemed to make all the problems go away.
BR,
Dennis

Dennis, I thought of this but when I click repeatedly on my chart
the vertical cursor-line moves quickly without perceptible delays. I
figured that this meant my indicator is not holding up any process.
However the chart timing shows as about 12 milliseconds. I also run
formulas when I edit them - never thought of that...

Herman,
This happens to me all the time when the formula is also running (if
it is a somewhat slow one). It seems that an AFL formula has to get
to the end of a cycle before the editor window focus is active for
editing --that is just a guess on my part. Since I am always
running the formula when editing the formula (just the way I work to
catch typos quickly), this AB feature has been my constant companion
for years. I never thought twice about it. ;)
BR,

The last few days (I never had this before) I often find my mouse
unresponsive in the formula editor window. I can click and click
until finally (3-4 seconds) my cursor moves and/or I can select text
again. It appears that this is due to some AB process using up my
computer resources however my task manager shows lots of reserve and
i can't figure out what causes it. I am not running any unusual
computing intensive processes. My mouse works fine outside of AB.
I am running the IBc with TWS open and my Internet connection is OK.
I changed mouse but this makes no difference.
Can this be due to failure to erase formulas when performing
Indicator maintenance? I hate to delete formulas... even if they are
not to be in actual use.
Would anyone have any idea what can cause this problem?
Thanks,
herman
