Clumsy carat

[johne53]

In some ways, Code::Block's features are quite nice - such as the way that it automatically shows you the closing bracket if you position your carat at an opening bracket. However, the overhead involved with all this tends to make the carat rather slow and clumsy when navigating around a document. I think I'd prefer to leave these features switched off and only turn them on if I need them. Is that possible in C::B?

your issues have nothing to do with editor overhead (those calculations are trivial). Code::Blocks uses the same editor control as the Scite editor, which doesn't have these problems. The culprit is wxGTK: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,6538.0.html

Thanks for the link..! My problems are exactly the same - slow under Linux, fine under Windows, so I've added my name to that thread. Do you happen to know if a solution was ever found?
