Package: quanta
Version: 1:3.2.2-1
I'm editing a 2500-line perl script in Quanta. Every time I switch from a
different tab onto the tab that holds this script, the display pauses for
about 2 seconds before it's redrawn.
2 seconds may not seem like a long time, but it's distracting and a little bit
annoying. It's just slow. (My CPU is a P4-2.4, and the delay in switching
to other tabs is too short to be noticeable.) And there are times when I'm
trying to switch quickly back and forth between tabs, and I just can't do it.
I thought the delay might have to do with calculating the code folding
markers, since I don't see the delay with HTML files, for example. But
turning off the code folding markers didn't solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
