That was something I tried early on - turning it off had no effect. But I didn't realise that restarting would speed it up again and I didn't check if it prevents it from getting slower. I don't know how to reproduce it on demand, although I expect to see it again tomorrow when I start editing some more. I can try it with RTL off. Probably takes me an hour of editing to think about it being slow so that's enough to get a couple of different settings in. Would be easier though to get another person to agree that they see the same thing and try the opposite setting :) Or figure out what causes it. (to the other developers waiting on me to respond.. sorry but it's bedtime here and as I can't ignore this bug you'll get an answer when I'm back into it :) Have fun, Darren
