Hi,
I am using CB on FreeBSD and Ubuntu. I foudn one very annoying problem, the editor is slow, slower than any other editor around, UltimateC++, KDevelop, Eclipse - all are much faster. When I mean slow, I simply mean a redraw cycle speed. It looks like 3-7 FPS, just select text with the mouse and move mouse around you will see what I mean. Any other editor I know does more than 20 fps. But now the interesting part, when I go to "Settings" -> "Editor" -> "Syntax highlite" there is a builting mini viewer to help customizing colors. I suggest this is the same control as used for code editing, but it's FPS is magnitude faster! It is read only though, and may be my assumption is wrong, it is another control, but it looks very similar to the real editor. So my question anyone into this? What makes editor so slow? Maybe it is possible to recompile with soem slow making feature disabled? Maybe this is colorizer? But when you move mouse to select text, you do not need colorizer update, or you need? Then maybe option like "Smart syntax highliter update" would be good? But yet again, I only have few lines of text, this must be something else, even colorizing each frame would be dazzling fast.
I tried to look into code, but as always with "free software" you can of course modify it fo ryour needs.. but it will take days and months to get into the code base just to understand what is what. Learn wxWidgets again.
Any way thanks for reading this blunt.
