Question

Adobe acrobat Reader scrolling performance on macintosh with find dialog open

For about 6-7 years now I've been waiting for Adobe to fix a problem with Acrobat Reader on OSX which is to say this problem has been consistently bad over several major releases of Acrobat Reader, OSX, and MacBook pro. It appears to be a rather simple rendering bug where something to do with how the Find dialog is composited exhibits terrible performance. It reduces the overall framerate to be 3-4 FPS when open.

 
 

Given how severe this bug is and how old it is I'm curious why Adobe has declined to fix it?

Probably would have been worth reporting it 6 years ago, this is the first mention I've seen. Please report here: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Yeah, I hear ya. I've tried twice over the years but each time, after about 15 minutes of looking for a way to report the bug, I gave up. This link helps. Thanks. I had assumed, since it was such a persistent and obvious defect, that it would magically get fixed. Everytime there is an update the first thing I check is "did they finally fix it? Is the nightmare over?" 🙂 Fortunatly the advance search doesn't have the same problem so I try to use that more often.
