Incredible lag when typing and scrolling on documents

Post by fmblanco8 »

Hello, I'm having some trouble with Lyx: once the document reaches a certain length typing and scrolling start to take so long I can actually end doing it and I will see it get done in the screen a couple of seconds later. The last document having this problem has 3012 characters and I'm using equations, title, date and author. My computer is a new Microsoft surface 6 with procesor i7, 16gb ram and 512gb memory running on Windows 10. It runs smoothly on everything else, from surfing at several websites at the same time to performing heavy calculations on Mathematica. My guess is that the problem is arising from some compatibility problem with Lyx. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you still experience this problem? Make sure you are not viewing the source code (in this case, it is expected for LyX to be slow because it is exporting to LaTeX after every key stroke). If you experience this problem with LyX 2.3.4 (just released today) please open a bug report at https://www.lyx.org/trac.
