I am getting multi-seconds input lag delay when editing the “back” of cards. I am talking 3-5 seconds on average. It is getting to the point where Anki has become almost unusable. The lag has a very specific characteristic too. When I add characters to the end of any line in the text box, there is …

That sounds like it might be this same issue – [image] Bug: Anki freezes when using spacebar in card editor Anki Desktop Please try the beta version of Anki in the beta testing section, and see if the problem still exists.

The issue appears to be resolved for me using this version: Version ⁨24.04.2 (a1fa865b)⁩ Python 3.9.18 Qt 5.15.2 PyQt 5.15.5 But I may need to run it for a while to feel confident it will not return.

Well, you can rest assured that it’s fixed. I did some digging to find the problem only to find that Abdo had already made a fix commit for this. So yeah! It’s fixed alright.

I wish I could say it’s fixed completely, but it’s not. The strange thing now is the lag ONLY occurs with entering space into either the edit card or new card windows. I.e. when entering an ALNUM character, there is no lag. The lag for a single space character is typically 1-3 seconds. So it’s bet…
