THIS has to be one of the bugs we address ASAP. Thanks Curry for doing the leg work on this one. I hope the team is paying attention to this one. This is one of the things that a new user has no hope of being aware of. Thanks, Tom ___ use-livecode

I was having problems with SE on Windows randomly causing crashes just by clicking in the text are of SE. When I switched off all the bling, I never had another crash like that. I plan to slowly re-introduce the bling to see if I can identify which part causes the crashes. Regards, Bernard

I also have seen the autocomplete stop and start working, and that on a Mac. It may have something to do with the length of the script. I have also seen the extreme slowdown issue on Windows script editor and also in the performance. Most of the performance hit is in the frequent saves I

Hi Ben, I did some testing using the CPU% in the task manager - i was trying to do some more before sending in my results. It looks like if it has been running for some time but the time is not "quantified" at the moment as I have not been working on my project much these last few months. When I

I mean the script editor mostly but also the rest of the ide has a bit of jank. Laying out interfaces on Windows has been worse than doing it on a Mac. The worse offender is the script editor though. > On 7 Sep 2021, at 23:28, Scott Morrow via use-livecode > wrote: > > Andre, when you say

Yes, and this is really disconcerting. Not sure how many Mac vs. PC devs there are for LC, but I suspect it's weighed heavily towards Mac. I think in retrospect, it may have been better to retain UTF-8 as an option, that is be able to select unicode or not in an app. But I suspect that would be

It's worse than the unicode text issue. Saving stacks is from my setup 7 to 8 times slower in Windows than on a Mac, and I have tried numerous Windows configurations from bare metal to VMWare servers running on a robust host. In discussions in the past, it seems there isn't a lot Livecode can
