Description
Regarding the tileset selection tool, it just so happens that, while the tool itself works perfectly fine and as expected, there is this strange issue in that the longer I have the room I'm editing open for, the more the tileset selection tool will start to lag behind and take longer to actually select the tiles. It's not just a matter of an actual delay, but the GameMaker program as a whole starts to bog down and freeze, becoming unresponsive, sometimes for minutes on end.
There hasn't been any instance where the program outright crashed or where it wouldn't unfreeze after a few seconds or minutes. Nevertheless, I have a suspicion that it becomes more intense not only with the length of time the room is open for, but also how large and populated it is, since the more I work on it, the more prominent this issue seems to become. It might just be that, since the project is getting larger, the time I spend on it also increases.
The "solutions" I have found to temporarily alleviate the problem are to close and reopen the room I was editing (which is generally easy and quick), or restart GameMaker as a whole (which I find that I sometimes have to do so that everything will run more smoothly).
