Hello, I have a Symfony project with an "action.class.php" file that has 2235 lines of code (lots of comments too). When I try to select text (in order to copy it or format the selected code), the editor freezes(doesn't responds) for 3-4 seconds!!! If I select the same text again, it doesn't freezes. It might be an issue with the "Highlighting" feature, which unfortunately I can't (or don't know how to) disable! This is really irritating and counterproductive! Note also that with Java code I don't have the same problem, but the Java files I have used have relatively less number of lines (max ~1000)! My computer is an old Pentium IV HT @2.8Ghz (dynamically OC upto 2960Mhz) with 1GB RAM and Windows XP SP3. My Java version is the latest, JDK 6 update 10.
Can't reproduce this. For a file of same size, selecting text in editor works instantly. My system is similar except I have 2Gb RAM.
After a bit experimentation, I need to re-state the problem. First of all, it has nothing to do with the variable highlight feature of the editor (which is almost instantaneous in my case). Size of the file does matters (files with ~1000 lines, don't freeze that much!). Some background task, that is searching for something related to the current selection, is causing it. Please consider the following: * Netbeans 6.5 RC 1 => Create PHP project with Existing Sources => open the file "action.class.php" => select text in editor => editor freezes for 3-4 seconds * Netbeans 6.5 RC 2 => same steps, same behavior! * Then, I deleted the project I have created in Netbeans 6.5 RC 1, and just opened the exact same file "action.class.php". It doesn't freeze at all, no matter what I select (or how fast I select different parts). Of course code-completion doesn't work in this case. From the above, we can safely conclude that the Symfony Framework and the way Netbeans is analyzing/processing it, are responsible for this problem. As a last note, my available RAM is ~240 MBs (allocation for Netbeans is usually between 175 and 200 MBs). Hope this post will help more...Cheers!
