Script Editor Slow on Windows

[JJS]

i don't have does issues on my win10 and lc902

i added .rev and .livecode to be excluded in Windows Defecnder and added 
the livecode.exe to be excluded.

the thing i do see is that the line nr's in the scripteditor sometimes 
seem to stall while i scroll up or down the script. switching to another 
script and back seems to refresh it.

Another thing i do is before opening an other project stack to work on, 
closing the IDE and restart it
