Following on from the discussion on unresponsive plugins freezing the ui I’d like to bring to light a couple cases where ST2 freezes the ui. These do not involve any plugins…
-
on startup, ST2 does a version check and if the network is slow respond the editor freezes until this completes
-
more critical is that if you open a large file, say greater than 10mb and proceed to do a find/replace such that there a lot of matches the search/highlight is always fast but if the number of characters being replace is small like 1 or 2 characters then the ui freezes for a long time(on the order of minutes)
