I see significant performance delays when editing in the XML editor - even just trying to select a word or delete a single character can make it choke. Other times I can edit just fine with no delays. Frequent commits definitely seem to help but even a single change to 1 file can sometimes cause it to freeze on me. When this happens, Flare's window shrinks to about 50% of the size and goes completely non-responsive. If I wait, it will un-freeze after a few minutes (usually). It freezes pretty consistently if I click the style dropdown from the ribbon (it will freeze, then when it comes back, the dropdown still won't be expanded). Clicking on any of the formatting options in the ribbon also seems cause it to freeze but this is more intermittent.
Right now it has been locked up for over 10 minutes and the only thing I have done since my last commit was select a single word and press the Backspace key. My CPU is not showing significant spikes but Flare is using something like 3k MB of memory and at the moment it's pegged at 96%. This is an extreme version of the delays I see all day long.
Additional info:
- I'm seeing it in 2 projects - one of those is a VERY large project but the other is pretty reasonably sized.
- Both projects are bound to source control - the large one is bound to Azure DevOps via Git, while the smaller one is bound to Central only.
- I'm running this on a Windows VM with plenty of space. Flare ran beautifully until a couple months ago (see next item) and nothing has changed in my machine's configuration.
