Interestingly here, even without wrapping, featherpad freezes for 4-5 seconds just pasting geany.html 12 times, but Geany is instantaneous, but Geany takes 1-2 seconds to wrap the resulting file if the edit window is about 40 characters wide but featherpad is instantaneous. Maybe featherpad is caching information when opening so wrapping is fast. Given it is done by Qt who knows.
Thank you for your test.
Note that people run apps line Geany and Scite on machines like raspberry pi, so not all machines can be assumed to be hypercomputers
That's true, indeed.
I recognized that the editor Kate and the editor Geany have the same behavior. It seems to be that developers of big software don't like a freezing behavior because it is a break in the flow, and the flow seems to be holy.
I think a good comprise would be to offer two Line Wrapping:
But I can imagine that it will not be realized because the effort is enormous while the use is low. Nevertheless at Scintilla I could write this:
Add the possibility to switch between 'Line Wrapping without freezing the display' and 'Line Wrapping with freezing the display'.
What do you think?
