Slow acting Value List

[SlimJim]

I have just converted a file from version 3 to version 7. It seems to be working largely as expected except the pop-up lists are so slow. For example, I have a custom value list with 5 numbers in it. I click or tab into a field set up as a pop-up list taking values from the value list and it takes 2 to 3 second for the value list to appear and then once I have chosen a value it takes another 2 seconds to drop into the field (all times approximate). So something that I used to do in a second or less in version 3 is taking about 5 seconds in version 7. I have changed the format to pop-up menu and that is as fast as always. However, that option is not open for most of my value lists which have hundreds of values and although pop-up menu now has a scrolling format it doesn't accept typeahead.

Does anybody know if there is a way of speeding things up here.

(I am using 7.0v3)

Seems to be a "known" issue for Windows users, the more windows you have actively open the slower the pop-up list. Might find more info if you try a search for +slow +list.

Well you're spot on. I tested it with all other windows closed and the speed is almost back to normal.

The problem is that I like to have multiple windows open!!!

Get the new version 8. The problem has been fixed there and new features have been added.
