I have filled a bug on this, but developers say that they cannot reproduce this issue… So I am seeking help through here because it REALLY bumps my productivity… Here is my problem:
When opening a “properties dialog” for a text such such as component reference or value in either schematic or layout editor, or when opening a “symbol properties dialog” for the schematic editor, or when opening a “footprint properties dialog” for the layout editor, there is a big wait, about 3 to 7 seconds.
I figured it is for all the dialogs that there is a textbox inside… Attached is a screen capture of the issue, the flicker on the textboxes when the dialog opens up is a screen recording artifact: https://kicad-info.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/0/0a177c23c2f878ec1861b9ef4074fe2eb6c99686.mp4
