Something like that should be able to be worked around by sending in some 
unnoticeable to the user amount time (I usually use 200 milliseconds) then 
cancel the send if the event happens again within the time. We do that all over 
the place but there could be a few spots that are being missed.

Like this

local sMessage

on somethingChaged
   cancel sMessage
   send “displayChange” to me in 200 milliseconds
   put the result into sMessage
end somethingChanged

on displayChange
   — actually do something
end displayChange

Cheers

Monte

I think anything that is displaying properties of any controls will cause this. 
It has to intercept the engine and update the displayed settings each time 
anything changes. Otherwise you would not get real time updates to these 
properties in any open windows.

I'd never noticed a connection to property inspectors--but they would
almost always be open when I'm doing this type of thing.

I wonder if he meant the Project Browser, rather than the property inspector. 
I’ve often seen slowdowns with the PB open, which tend to get worse the longer 
it’s open and which go away as soon as I close it.

I'd never noticed a connection to property inspectors--but they would
almost always be open when I'm doing this type of thing.

That happens to me as well. Closing the PI definitely fixes that.

The workaround might be to close the property inspector- however that of
course depends on whether the PI is open while you are experiencing this
currently.

insanely long delays when moving several selected objects

[Dr. Hawkins via use-livecode]

I few minutes ago, I selected about three dozen fields in two groups, and
tapped up-arrow several times.

I had *thought* that the slowmove bug was long gone, but apparently not.

Simply groping them to move isn't a viable workaround; the point was that I
needed space in the middle of the group.

*Is* there a workaround for this.

Gee, they're finally done!
