writing is lagging

[rami-shalhoub]

when i am writing in a relatively large note (It has about 12 headers and more than 2k characters) I notice that the note is laggy, the words take about 500ms to be written and sometimes the note freezes for about 1-2 seconds before executing an action, but on other shorter notes I don't have any problem

P.S1: I downloaded trilium from Falthub bc when I downloaded it from GitHub it didn't open after 1 hour for som reason
P.S2: I am dual booting windows with ubuntu so I made a symbolic link for the document.db from trilium on windows to trilium on ubuntu to share the same database on both systems, I thought this was the problem so I separated the two databases but still have the same problem

System: Ubuntu 24.04
Trtilium Note version: 0.63.7

@rami-shalhoub , I would like to have a look at the note to see if I have the same performance issues. Would you be able to share it for me? Of course, provided it has no personally identifiable information.

@eliandoran I had to break the note into smaller notes to solve the problem
anyway, I reassembled the note to how was it before
I don't know how you want it as a PDF or as an HTML file, so I made both

output.pdf

ASP.NET note .zip

@rami-shalhoub , I can reproduce the issue.

It seems to occur due to the table of contents and highlights widget (~300 highlights). Could you try closing them and see if it improves your performance?

You can disable the highlights list for a particular note by assigning it the #hideHighlightWidget label.

I'll also see if I can improve this over in TriliumNext, by waiting for the user to finish typing before reloading the list.

As a side note, I generally recommend using Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V as it removes the formatting before pasting. This will ensure that there is no highlighted text. Should you require highlighted text, you can use TriliumNext which introduces syntax highlight for code blocks (but not for inline code quotes).
