Delay in Typing during writing long posts.

Same here. Delay is increasing gradually as I type. After a few sentences, the editor is unusable. Please do something with it!

Which versions are you using? We confirmed a regression on Gutenberg 8.8 and we’re still trying to track it to understand where it comes from.

@youknowriad Problem occured after 8.8.0 update. Previously I used 8.7.2 or something around that and everything was fine. I’m also using WordPress 5.5.

The slow down occurs on every browser I have (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). I noticed that during typing, the CPU usage on my PC jumps from 3-4% to around 33%. SSD, memory and GPU stays at normal values. This is odd, because I’m just typing in simple paragraph block. When I type in other apps, like Google Docs or something like that, there no such CPU usage jump.

Interesting is, that only typing is problematic. I can highlight a few sentences, even whole block and delete it in a split second. There’s also no problem in cutting, pasting text and formatting it.

If you have more question, I’m happy to help.

Thanks for the details @teoriaelektryki I have been able to find the issue and a fix https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/24835 is coming on Gutenberg 8.9.0 later this week.

I’m still having this issue with my typing delayed in wordpress, on my chromebook. This doesn’t happen in any other apps, and all other functions in wordpress are fine. The typing delay has increased over time.
