Setting hidden of lines very slow

[Kaveh Bazargan]

I have a text field with some 3500 lines of text. I want to ensure all
lines are visible, as I have hidden some before. I use:

repeat with i = 1 the number of lines of fld 1
      set the hidden of line i of fld 1 to false
end repeat

This is taking over 1 minute to complete. I have tried removing all styling
from the text so e.g. backgroundcolor is empty, etc. Same result.

Any suggestions pls?
