Hi,

My hardware is older thinkpad (X200s) with Intel U2300 processor with @1.2GHz and 4Gb RAM.

Just tried with NOGTK version of theide and it feels significantly better. Still I can sometimes type faster than the screen updates, but it happens a lot less then with GTK version. So it really seems to be related to the backend.

Perhaps it would be possible to test CodeEditor alone, just to isolate the possible cause? (With both backends).

Also, what is your GTK2.0 version?

I have the latest GTK2 available, version 2.24.28. There is also GTK 3.18.2 installed on my computer, but that should not be interfering in any way.

Testing with simple single window app consisting of only CodeEditor, with the same C++ file as in TheIDE didn't show anything wrong. It works pretty fast. However, I was not able to make it use C++ syntax highlighting. Any hint on which CodeEditor method should I call and how?

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
#include <CodeEditor/CodeEditor.h>

using namespace Upp;

GUI_APP_MAIN {
	TopWindow win;
	CodeEditor ce;
	ce.Highlight("cpp");
	ce <<= "Hello world!";
	win.Add(ce.SizePos());
	win.Sizeable().Zoomable().Run();
}
