[GNC] GnuCash Delays on KB Input

Hello,


Longtime user, currently on GC 4.13 (as a preference) and Windows 11 
with a brand new PC. I have observed for some time now that GC has 
significant interface delays in normal use.


Almost any change in the app causes a 3 second delay before completing 
(and yes, I have been counting). Clicking on a different open tab inside 
the app causes this. Clicking on a different transaction in an open 
window causes the delay. These delays even crop up if I switch to a 
different application (say, a pdf reader) and then switch back, without 
changing anything in GC.


During the delay, all the menus and account tabs are greyed out, as if 
GC is processing something in the background. What it might be 
processing is a mystery to me. It should go without saying that I do not 
observe these delays with any other application on this machine.


To say this is annoying might be an understatement. I had thought the 
problem might have been with my old PC--but I have now replaced that, 
and still see these delays. :(


Any suggestions on a remedy (other than upgrading to 5.12, since I do 
not wish to receive certain other GC updated behaviors) would be most 
welcome.
