[Github-comments] [geany] Parsing long files (#791)

[philip r brenan]

Following your suggestions:

*Disable real-time symbol parsing* prevents the problem from occurring.

* Disable symbol parsing at save:* I saved with an extraneous { in place
and the save was very slow.  However this is less of a problem because I
can control when a save occurs and just not save when the extra the bracket
is outstanding.

*Disabling all file type-specific features* works as suggested - this was
how I was getting around the problem earlier but it takes time to set and
unset and one forgets to do it in advance and so this is an error prone
process.

I appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Phil
