Considerable slow-down when "Show whitespace characters"-option is turned on in Eclipse #61

Open Tattoo opened 10 years ago

RF-plugin slows down considerably when "Show whitespace characters"-option is turned on for Text Editors in Eclipse. This option would be very useful when dealing with Robot Framework test cases, as they are indentation-based.

This does not affect small test case files, but even files with 50 lines a slow-down is noticeable. At about 100 lines, slow-down is considerable.

Steps to re-produce:

  1. Turn "Show whitespace characters" on by selecting: Settings | General | Editors | Text Editors screenshot
  2. In Eclipse, open example test case: https://gist.github.com/Tattoo/10842701
  3. Type anywhere.

Thanks for your feedback, have not tested in this configuration myself. Will try to reproduce myself and see what can be done to fix it.
