Entering text is VERY slow and misses characters

Hi everyone!
Have an issue with the latest version of AE (v 22.6.0).  Because I'm so familiar with AE, I still use it to create supers and titles for my videos. 
But entering text onto layers is now so painfully slow, I have misspelled items because I typed it, but the letters don't make it onto the layer.  I must type.... very.... very.... very.... slowly to get the entire word in.
Wanted to see if anyone has seen this or has a workaround.

I'm primarily using a 2019 Macbook Pro | 64G | 1 TB on Ventura.

Thanks.
