Given Stan's response on this, I'm imagining the problem lies with
something in the data file. In fact, if I open a different file on the
machine, the problem appears to have disappeared. So, that supports the
idea that there is something wrong with the file.
Unfortunately, my data file covers 20 years of information. And yes,
I've run Check & Repair on the whole file. I can also eliminate any
issue with the gcm file, since I am on a new machine, and the gcm is new
(I know this because every account's column settings are defaulted back
stock layout. I had set the columns on the old machine).
I have absolutely no idea how I would troubleshoot this. Re-entering 20
years of data is not the answer. As for an older backup, I had already
held off on bookkeeping for the last six months; going further back
would entail manual entry of thousands of transactions, which is really
not something I'm prepared to do either.
I would scan the raw xml to see if there were something obvious, but I
don't even know what I'd be looking for. I am considering exporting the
entire file to CSV and then reimporting into a new file,but again, if
the problem is some form of corruption in the transaction data, this
would just propagate the problem in a new file...
I am open to creative suggestions.

If that doesn't help, I would look at your file next. Perhaps try an
older backup file before the issue started to see if that is where
your issue is.

*Subject:* [GNC] GnuCash Delays on KB Input
Hello,
Longtime user, currently on GC 4.13 (as a preference) and Windows 11
with a brand new PC. I have observed for some time now that GC has
significant interface delays in normal use.
Almost any change in the app causes a 3 second delay before completing
(and yes, I have been counting). Clicking on a different open tab inside
the app causes this. Clicking on a different transaction in an open
window causes the delay. These delays even crop up if I switch to a
different application (say, a pdf reader) and then switch back, without
changing anything in GC.
During the delay, all the menus and account tabs are greyed out, as if
GC is processing something in the background. What it might be
processing is a mystery to me. It should go without saying that I do not
observe these delays with any other application on this machine.
To say this is annoying might be an understatement. I had thought the
problem might have been with my old PC--but I have now replaced that,
and still see these delays. :(
Any suggestions on a remedy (other than upgrading to 5.12, since I do
not wish to receive certain other GC updated behaviors) would be most
welcome.
David T.
