Syntax Highlighting Slows Down Query Text Editor Text Input #31

Closed dragnilar closed 6 years ago

dragnilar commented 6 years ago

The syntax highlighting service causes a minor delay when typing into the query text editor. While it is still perfectly usable, this causes a slight annoyance for people who are used to the "normal" performance provided by SSMS and Visual Studio.

DevExpress has acknowledged this in their own forums. Unfortunately it looks like they do not have immediate plans to address this because it would require heavily reworking the Rich Text Editor control. Since this looks like something that could take years(?) to get fixed, its probably time to look into other options.

5bafb914 - Scintilla.NET has been implemented and the syntax highlighting no longer slows down the text editor.
