Consistent slowdown and lockup while editing scripts.

When editing a script comment, Alibre slows down and shows not responding. Runs ok if I just load and run a script but quickly locks up when I start to edit a comment.

If I click and drag to highlight a row, as soon as the # is highlighted the cooling fan kicks into high speed. If I then drag left and unselect the # or comment the fan drops back to normal.

 

Eset Antivirus, Windows 10 2004, I'm sure it happened with more than 1 script as I was using bits of 2 to write a 3rd. The beta is on my home machine so I will check tonight.

 

One of the scripts I was working on is here

Fixed I pasted the wrong link - maybe.....

Sketch Alignment Oddity in Scripts

 

A bit more investigation shows that it's not actually the comment that's causing the problem, it's the length of the line.

The attached video shows the power load and slowdown as the cursor moves along the line

 

At least scripts run ok but I hope it does get fixed or gets a hotfix as soon as it is fixed. I don't know how many people use scripting but it will be annoying for those of us who do.

 

For me the Alibre process spikes to full core usage of CPU and hangs when editing AlibreScripts. It doesn't happen immediately but does has at least every session causing the program to be manually terminated and restarted. I can't pinpoint a specific thing but the last few times it was when I was trying to click or hold down click to drag a selection. Beta build: 22037

I've submitted a beta ticket.

 

The script here now causes Alibre Design to freeze when the script is ran:

I've submitted a beta ticket.

 

This is really, Really, REALLY ANNOYING. It makes it impossible to edit any scripts using AlibreScript and many of them are impossible to run.

 

V22 Should not be released like this. I don't care how long it takes to fix. Or just take the scripting engine changes out.

 

I don't think the predictive suggestions is working for me either. It only shows up right after a period is typed/clicked and always starts at the beginning of the whole AlibreScript command list.

 

same here

 

Not comfortable but I use external editor now and just load and run script from Alibre.

Would be nice switch off autocomplete, syntax highlighting, enable autoreload if I change file externally.

 

It's only an example dialog I made almost 2 years ago to show users how to program each of the WindowsInputTypes. All it does is show an example dialog. There was and still is no explanation for them in the AlibreScript quick help or documentation.
