SQL Editor -- slow key response when typing

Hi. Typing in the new editor seems slow, you can see and feel the delay as characters get slowly displayed. This most becomes frustrating when I use Backspace to delete a bunch of chars on a line... Also, just to test, i pressed and held a key. As keystrokes were shown in the editor, the Task Manager was displaying a 24% CPU utillization for the dbvis PID There is no configuration for 'keystroke' delay, is there? Anyone else seeing this?

Roger, When I opened the debug window, it showed *344M* of 989M .... After I hit Del key in the editor... *7 (seven)* seconds passed before it reacted and memory jumped to *359M* / 989M

...; whats interesting... i decided to open a new instance of dbvis and load the SAME script (this one has 1157 lines).. No problems in the new instance.... i'll try to notice when it starts to choke.... but there is def something going on.....

Hi --- any updates on this post? ty

Hi Alex, Sorry but we are still unable to reproduce this problem, and no one else has reported anything similar. Were you able to nail down more precisely the situation when it starts to occur? Best Regards, Hans

That is odd that no one else is experiencing this problem.......

Hans, Can you try spanning the dbVis' sql editor across two monitors, load the sql script that is a few pages long and try scrolling up and down.. Let me know if you're seeing anything unusual... I will try to see if I can upgrade my video drivers.. May be its the video driver....

ok... really weird... so, like i said, i have the dbvis spanned across 2 screen. opened a sql , scrolling up and down is very slow, key strokes are slow... Clicked on Show/Hide Editor Controls, and clicked on 'Show as Windows'. Then slightly resized the sql window, and clicked Show as Tabs. The problem is gone....until the dbVis is restarted..... ideas???

Roger, Is there a way for you to try that on XP? Especially, after what I discovered and posted in my last post: +{color:#800080}Clicked on Show/Hide Editor Controls, and clicked on 'Show as Windows'.+ +Then slightly resized the sql window, and clicked Show as Tabs. The problem is gone....until the dbVis is restarted..... ideas???{color}+

Roger.. Yes, it it frustrating, especially when I dont see this issue when I use other apps, such as Toad, SQL Server Management Studio, Word or even IE.. I even put them (apps) side by side to see if the performance takes a toll on all apps, but as soon as I move my mouse away from dbVis onto other app's space, the other app performs normally.. As soon as I move back to dbVis, same issue... Just to check, I installed *7.5 (*version that has the old sql editor) -- and the issue is NOT observed. It affects all of dbVis GUI, menus, typing, scrolling ... And again, the issue disappears after I do the 'work-around' mentioned earlier... Thats whats interesting..... HOWEVER, as I was typing this response, I decided to try this flag -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false . Restarted dbVis (8.5) and the issue is *gone*... Tried the same w/o the flag by turned off Direct3D in dxdiag tool --- the issue is gone.. .. ..... So, is 8.# is using Direct3D differently than 7.5 ?

I was having the exact same problem. (Ubuntu 11.10, DbVisualiser 8.07) The SQL editor has a 1-2 second delay for key presses, once the editor has been used once or twice. I inserted *-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false* into the shell script and everything fine now.

Just a me too - comment, ran into this when upgrading to 64-bit Ubuntu LTS with nvidia native driver and OpenJDK and running Dbvis 9 series. The setting mentioned above fixed it. However isn't the file dbvis.vmoptions a preferrable place for these kind of settings?
