Subject Re: dBASE - Source Editor - Totally abnormal CPU usage when dBase is From Gaetano <gaetanodd@hotmail.com> Date Fri, 1 Jan 2021 14:11:11 +1000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started I have already posted it as a bug, Karen said it's a known problem and they are narrowing down the cause, so perhaps add any additional comment under my bug report if you have more info to add that may help narrowing down the issue. It feel like it is doing something continuously while the window has focus, instead of doing whatever it needs to do only "onKey", i.e. when something actually changes in the editor window. Perhaps try to deactivate "Syntax Highlighting" - I know it is useful but if that solves the issue, they might deploy a fix sooner rather than later :) On 31/12/2020 23:22, Carlos A.
