Text selection is crazy slow in 2017

Has anyone else experienced this.  When I try to drag select text it lags terribly.  In the example I have nothing else in the comp but there's like a one second or half second lag.  With a busy comp the lag can be 2 or 3 seconds long.   Has anyone else experienced this or know why it's happening?  Is there a setting I need to change?  I work with hardware acceleration disabled but enabled or disabled it makes no difference.

    Correct answer Roei Tzoref

    Both machines have Asus motherboards, a P8H67 pro in the old machine and a Z170 Hero Alpha in the new build.  Maybe...idk.  I'll just keep using 2014 I guess.


    this is probably a certain issue with a specific setup only a careful inspection can find out what causes it. filling a bug report is a way to get this fixed: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

    interesting. does this happen with every project? I am suspecting an update is required for the GPU, or it could be corrupted preferences. try to isolate the problem: fresh project, fresh comp. see if it's certain comps or fonts. reset your work space and check again. reset your preferences too.

    Hi.... It's the same no matter what.  Also the same on a brand new installation of 2017 with no plug-ins or anything on a brand new computer.   And you know that screen capture itself was frozen after a few seconds even though there was movement through the whole thing.  I tried recording it a few more times and the resulting file would not even play back.   I opened up 2014 and did a screen capture and recorded/ played back normally in real time.  I then re-opened 2017 and screen capture failed again resulting in a just a static frozen screen.  Do you use 2017?   Do you find the text select lags?
