Whenever I enter text into any component, the text entry happens in slow motion (I type in the word and it appears slowly one letter at a time). Is this a problem unique to my machine or is there something I should be looking at on my end? I have an iMac with the M1 chip running Sonoma 14.6.1 It seems to occur mostly when entering or editing text in my footer grid. Thanks. Jeff ---

That’s not expected behaviour, it should feel like just writing normal in a text field. Can you share your project via Elements Cloud and we can look into what might be causing the issue for you! ---

I have the same issue, but only when I change text in a text component or button component that is set as a “global.” I notice this especially on larger pages. ---

I have experienced this too, also on probably my ‘heaviest’ page. ---

Sounds like things can get a little slow on large pages that use on Globals. I’ve created a ticket to look into this and improve performance! ---

@dan Do you need a project file, or do you already have a larger one to test with? ---
