I do not have the Sidekick plugin installed so it must be because of syntax highlighting. The next time I experience a significant slowdown editing a C++ file I will change the buffer options edit mode to text and hopefully that will solve the problem. I assume that I can place ":mode=text:" anywhere in the first or last 10 lines, such as in a C++ comment, to have the file permanently be treated as text edit mode. > > Robert > > > Am 16.01.2021 um 06:43 schrieb Edward Diener: >> JEdit sometimes slows to a crawl when editing certain complicated C++ >> files.
