Here are the files. The file named "scroll-problem" means problem

Thanks!
Dear Hung-Tzu,
Thanks for the files. I can confirm that I observe hangs when
scrolling with LyX 2.4.1 and that the performance is much much better
with current 2.4.2~devel.
What's the latest "stable" version of LyX? I just discovered my LyX is
2.3.6.1 from 12/29/2020. What am I missing with my version? It seems OK
to me, and it's what my distro gives me.
LyX 2.4.0 was released in early June (and 2.4.1 in early July). It has
boatloads of new features:

It can be downloaded from lyx.org.
Since you are on Linux, it is easy to compile yourself, and even to
install it in parallel to 2.3.6.1. (By default, the self-compiled
version installs to /usr/local/, and this can be configured. You can
also use e.g. --program-suffix=2.4 to have the binary be "lyx-2.4", and
not just "lyx".) Just use a separate user directory with 2.4 (use the
-userdir option when launching). 2.4.x can read older files, and export
to 2.3.x format, but we do not recommend trying to move back and forth
with a single file. The kind of 'round trip' does not always work well
(depending upon how many of the new features you have used).
If you decide to switch to 2.4.x, then of course you don't have to worry
about the separate user directory, etc.
