Script Editor Unusable on Windows

[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

Thank you for your efforts here, Curry! I’m trying to use LC 9 much more now that 9.0.1 is out. I’m running into a script editor slow down on Mac (High Sierra 10.13.6) fairly often.  Keystrokes lagging far behind and copy - paste keyboard shortcuts sporadically not working.  Restarting the IDE seems to fix it but I haven’t worked out a recipe. I’m glad you are trying to track it down!

Warmest regards,

Scott Morrow

Yesterday I was going to submit a screenshot of my system specs (and I did) but found that my current recipe, tested during a problematic LC session the day before, was not at all sufficient to trigger the issue from scratch. Panos, thanks for confirming the same on your end.

However, I certainly don't want to minimize it or make light of it to any degree; the script editor slowdown is one heck of a show stopper when it does strike (right when you're hard at work) and all the more insidious until we know the conditions that trigger it.

It may take some days, but as I have time I will hunt down the trigger and hopefully see whether it affects other platforms and how much 901 SE performance differs from 900 or other versions. I've seen the slowdown several times - big difference between running the occasional LC test on a platform/chip and doing actual LC work on it every day for hours! Enough that I had already started developing a habit of avoiding 901 when I know I'll be typing a lot.
