I'm not sure I have seen such a report. It is hard to know how to
diagnose the problem. When you see the sluggishness, are you by chance
working on a file that is in a Dropbox folder and you have automatic
save set to a high frequency? That's just a random guess. We have seen
some problems from users with both Windows and Dropbox.


Indeed the file is in a dropbox folder. But "Look>Document 
Handling->Backup documents every X minutes" is set to 5, which doesn't 
seem bery high frequency, and the problem persists even if I edit a 
copy of the document I placed in a non-dropbox folder.
If you open the Windows Task Manager and then start editing a document 
in LyX, does the Task Manager show either high CPU utilization or high 
disk utilization for anything?

Hi,

Recently Lyx has been sluggish when typing equations and scrolling in 
moderately sized documents, to the point that it becomes very 
frustrating. Is this known to be an issue with current versions? I am 
using a fresh install of Lyx 2.3.2-2 on an up-to-date version of Windows 
10 (Version 1809). On Lyx 2.3.2 (2018-12-20) on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on a 
much older computer editing same document is very snappy.


Best Regards,
David


Do you happen to have the code preview open?
