CodeBlocks keyboard input really slow on Mac OS X 10.6.3 – Not sure why.

Hello,

I searched this support forum (and Googled in general) for the answer I seek but I was unable to find the information I was looking for. Therefore this post…


Question 1:
Has anyone else experienced extremely slow keyboard input while using the CodeBlocks IDE under Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.3?



The keyboard responsiveness of the IDE has always been extremely slow for me and I have tried to work with it as is but I am beginning to wonder if there might be some configuration change somewhere that might help – either in C::B or in the OS.

Maybe is it something specific to my OS X environment or some other silly setting I have not set properly. My Mac is used only for Development – No web surfing, no viruses, etc.

Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to give me a bit of insight as to why this may be occurring.

I really love C::B and can’t wait for it to mature further. If I wasn’t so darn busy trying to make money (to keep the lights on), I would pitch in and help with the development. Maybe soon…

Thanks again….

edwin

Which plugins do you have enabled ? You might try disabling a few (or all).

It's also possible to donate money, instead of time, if Code::Blocks is useful to your work...

Hello afb,

Thank you for your reply.

These plugins are currently enabled:
Symbol Table Plugin v1.0
Source code formatter v1.2
Help plugin v1.1
File extension handler v1.0
Debugger v0.3
Compiler v0.99
BrowseTracker v1.2.94 2010/02/25

There are other plugins loaded but not enabled. I disabled all the other plugins that I thought I would not need (hopefully to reduce any bugs or other issues).

It would be terrific if you have any ideas….

Thank you,

edwin

Just to note I see the same problem, even with *all* plugins disabled.  (I had to disable all plugins to get past some basic crashes, and slowly re-enabling them till I identify the 'bad' ones)

I had put this down to running a basic MacBook (not the pro!) - are you running on something substantially more powerful?

My suspicion is this is a wxWidgets or Scintilla issue, running on OSX, rather than something specific to CodeBlocks, although I don't have any other wx/Scintilla apps to compare with.
