Irritating bug in the Glossary description editor, not least because it is intermittent so I can’t, for example, provide a clear guide to how to reproduce the problem.
When it strikes, it looks like this:
on entry to a populated description, everythng is fine. The cursor appears exactly where it should be. However, make an amendment such as deleting a character and suddenly the cursor appears what looks like 2 characters to the right, though - even more confusingly - the actual insertion point moves just one character to the right.
Makes editing a nightmare. Only solution so far seems to be close VP and reopen.
tried a couple of times over the weekend. It’s almost like quantum mechanics. As soon as I try to capture the observations, they disappear. Even set up Wink to capture an entire session (which I can then edit). Naturally that session performed perfectly.
One clue/associated behaviour.
I have noticed that, as my project grows (currently 7.7 mb), VP is becoming decidely sluggish. This gets worse the longer a session I’m involved with. This is unexpected. Mine is a pretty potent workstation. i7, 24 gb RAM, SSD drive for the workspace, over 20 Tb storage space, reasonable graphics cards (2, with 3 monitors) etc. All of which is because I’ve been a power user for decades. Nothing else I use has to struggle like VP appears to.
By struggle I mean things like latency when hovering (before tooltips appear) or delays in responding to clicks. or difficulty in clicking and dragging objects (because it sometimes takes 3-5 seconds before the grab points will activate etc etc). It is during these periods that the editing glitch also appears.
Are there some cache settings or similar I could tweak to get it a bit more responsive?
