Title: Cursor moving slowly
Post by: Gian Kolbjornsen on June 21, 2004, 06:23:28 PM

Hello folks,

I notice after updating to version 1.0.5 that the caret moves very slowly while editing code.

I have tried on two pc's. One low end and one high end. Both are slow.

Has anybody else noticed this behavior?

Hi Gian,

Yes, I can confirm that I have noticed the same slowness of the cursor movement during editing.

This slowness has been carried through to Ver 1.06 Beta 3 as well.

P.S. Great Christian Name.

Are we talking mouse pointer/cursor or the actual cursor moved with the arrow keys? I'm not seeing any slowness in either. I can hold down the down arrow (or even a letter key) and get the same movement/speed as notepad and PB's editor, etc. And the mouse doesn't move any slower as compared to any other window. There is a lot of processing going on in the edit window though.

Which OS are you guys using?

I am talking about the caret (text positioner) not mouse cursor.

I am using XP Pro.

This problem was not present prior to 1.0.5 but I do not know 100% if the problem is caused by FF or some other problem. It only affects FF.

XP Pro here too, and XP tablet edition, but I have not seen any caret lagging on either computers or the last FF versions (1.0.5/1.0.6) installed.

I too have noticed this problem. Usually if I shut down the editor and reopen the project the problem goes away for a while. Typing in letters can even become slow. Using FF 1.05 and Windows XP Pro.

I'm using W2K, no issues with the cursor have shown up here.

I'm always suspicious of XP. Tried installing it here a couple of years ago and after about a month "upgraded" to W2K again because of usability problems. For example when I played audio thru the sound card it would "batch" up parcels of sound - play for a second or two, then pause, then more sound.

Couldn't work with it. XP is the excuse I need to move away from Windows completely when 2000 refuses to work any more.

Don't worry about this for too much longer. I suspect that the problem is noticable because FireFly is maintaining two edit buffers. One for Full Module View and one for Procedure View. The next version of FireFly will only have one edit buffer so you will not notice any cursor delays.

Thanks Paul,

That explains the behavior I am seeing.
