AW: Script Editor Performance

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

I am still trying to find reproducible recipes. Sometimes it really is a mess to work with the IDE, sometimes (same stack, same script) it is acceptable (not nice, not performant, but acceptable). I have switched off all "fancy features".

Beside of massive slowdowns, the 9er IDE has (at least on Win 10) some nasty behaviors. E.g. When using the scroll-bar, the line numbers don't get updated anymore. You have to stop scrolling and click somewhere within the script to update the line numbers.

>From time to time when working with the script and switching back to the main stack window, the window is disappeared, it even doesn't show up anymore in the window menu, though the window still is "anywhere". After some more clicking, the main window appears again - very strange!

In total very dissatisfying
Still trying to find recipes, Tiemo

Thanks Curry - I'm using Windows 10.  I'll try some of these things you've suggested and get back.
