Typing has an exteme delay inside code editor

Bug Reports

Problem description:
Replit is super laggy when I try to write code in a file. The repl’s resources are not taken up at all. I’ll type something and it takes a couple seconds for it to appear on my screen, and this occurs throughout all my devices with Replit, including high-end ones. There is a very noticeable delay.

Expected behavior:
Should run smoothly when writing code in the editor.

Actual behavior:
Extreme delay and terrible productivity.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make a repl with about 10 files or more, or have a file with a lot of text/code inside.
  2. Try to code/type in that file or another.
  3. Watch the delay.

Do you have any browser extensions running? What happens when you close all other tabs and apps on your device?

Welcome to the community, @Ajh499! I have totally never met you before. :wink: Ummmm the only way to make it faster is probably to boost it…

I have this same issue when editing a 102-line HTML file. The editor is extremely slow and takes about 5 seconds to type in a single character.

i do have a couple extensions installed on my pc, but not my other devices. i usually work in one tab anyway, so i still get the same results, even with all background apps and other programs closed. this only happens about 2/3 of the time i edit my repls though, sometimes it’s lucky

What is your browser and device version?
Does updating to the latest browser version help?

Can you please provide me with a screen recording so I can investigate?

Welcome to the community! This happens to me when I have too many Replit tabs open. On my nicer computer this number is pretty high but restarting my browser generally fixes the problem.
