[GNC] GnuCash Delays on KB Input

[Glenn Fowler]

Upgrade to v4.14 so you stay on v4 but with additional bugfixes to eliminate program issues.

If that doesn't help, I would look at your file next. Perhaps try an older backup file before the issue started to see if that is where your issue is.

Subject: [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.


David T.
