I’m not used to using Xojo on Windows, but typing is very slow. The IDE feels very sluggish in general, but typing is crazy slow.
I created 2 gifs to compare:
Notepad typing:
Xojo typing (as start to type as soon as the cursor is at place):
This is Windows 10, Xojo 2018r1 on reasonable hardware (Macbook Pro 2015: No bootcamp or virtualization)
Quite interesting. I am on Windows 10 (Lenovo carbon X1: core I5, 8GB RAM) I do not experience any significant slowdown while typing. Copy-Paste operations can take a while, but typing is subjectively on par with 2017R3.
So, you installed Windows 10 bare metal on your Apple hardware? Could this be a driver issue?
Does this happen as soon as you open the IDE or does it slow down over time?
Does this only happen with your project or does it happen with a new blank project?
Did you see it on any previous versions of the alpha/beta (I notice you’re a pre-release tester)?
“This is Windows 10, Xojo 2018r1 on reasonable hardware (Macbook Pro 2015: No bootcamp or virtualization)” How are you actually running it then if not via bootcamp or in a VM?
What desktop scaling are you running at? 100% 150%?
Does it still happen after a fresh reboot without opening other programs?
The same happen to me using MacBook Pro 15" Touch ID i7 2,9GHz with Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB
I try to do a fresh restart and the problem persist.
I have the project that is recovered from not saved project after crash.
I try to save the project in non binary format and then save back in binary format and bingo text typing is now OK

As soon as I open the IDE.
Both
I don’t have an active license at this moment, so I cannot test beta’s anymore
Just format the whole drive, install Windows as you should, install all the drivers
170% Does this matter?
Bingo, this works indeed. Just a normal reboot, I’m now slowly opening other apps (mailclient, vpn, etc…) and I will report after a while.

Hi, Mathias.
I have the same problem continously, specially when I work with two or more Xojo IDEs opened at same time.
The only solution I’he found is close all Xojo IDEs and re-open again.
I suffer similar slowdon over time, multiple hours, it gets so slow that when you try to insert a new window, the window doesn’t get inserted. At that point I have to restart XOJO and use until it slows down again. I wonder whether it is the amount of ‘undo’ steps that the IDE is remembering - no scientific evidence for that mind you.
TLDR: if typing gets slow, close (or hide) the tabs containing lots of visible items.
I have very large projects with a lot of elements and lots of tabs open. Normally typing is fast, even after working for 8+ hours.
Yesterday my typing became glacial, so I re-launched. After a few minutes it was glacial again. Activity monitor showed Xojo was close to 100% as I typed. There had to be another reason.
I closed the tabs (or sublist items) showing the windows that have hundreds of items, and typing resumed to be fast again, with no relaunch. I assume Xojo must be checking the open tab items on every change, in case it needs to update any effected item on them.
Sometimes this also happens to me, and to describe it, I write “dim a As Integer” and complete text is shown after 20-25 seconds. I am watching how it shows one by one letter. It is also in Window with hundreds of items. The only solution I got for now is to re-launch XOJO and delete cache files: https://graffitisuite.com/wiki/doku.php?id=xojo:cache
