Perhaps the VectorEngine plugin is outdated? Now with just a few
windows open (3 browsers, one workspace, one message set)
everything becomes super slow and it takes over one second to
react to clicks. Also, when I left-click a method in the method
list of a browser sometimes it selects the method and sometimes
it opens the menu (as if I had right-clicked)… super weird, any
clue? </div>

hi Luciano,<br>
<br>
I didn't notice it, it may be just the vm.<br>

some months ago we agreed to run on this VM by

Typing a single character in an empty workspace

This is in a new and fast laptop. Anyone
experienced anything like this? I don’t think the
problem is VectorGraphics, because typing a single

without the plugin, and I think the glyph is

Hi Luciano,<br>
<br>
This may be due to using VectorCanvas for all drawing. Try
evaluating `MorphicCanvas activeSubclass: HybridCanvas.` to use
BitBlt for unzoomed/unrotated windows, with full VG capabilities, or
`MorphicCanvas activeSubclass: BitBltCanvas.` to completely disable
VG (while keeping TTF working).<br>
<br>
Please tell how it goes.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
