I have been using KiCad on a Mac Pro with MacOS 14 Catalina for some hobby projects, most recently v 5.1.7
I just upgraded to 5.1.8, and when I load existing schematics, EEschema now will show the operation (such as drawing a wire, deleting an object, etc.) right away, but delays 4-5 seconds (with spinning wheel) before updating the connections (i.e., new junction dots, wire to part connection, etc.)
However, if I start a new schematic, I don't observe that behavior.
I can imagine perhaps some setting or item in the schematic is causing EESChema to do some extra work for every operation. It's as if EESchema is crunching a large amount of data when processing the new configuration.
Has anyone seen anything similar? I am certain this is an odd corner case, as the software would never be released if if behaved as I observe on my system. I would really be glad to find a fix.
Thanks in advance for any leads!
