Typing speed has slowed down so much in my document that I seriously consider simply typing in word and the copy past the text into FrameMaker. My documents have three to four pages with a couple of relatively small png files.
Not likely the problem, but in Edit » Preferences » [+] Spelling » Spelling Options uncheck ☑ Auto Spell Check [OK] and see what happens.
The hypothesis on this is that it's doing a continuous live spell check on everything you type, and if there's anything impeding access to the dictionary, that might slog things.
Sorry should have come back. It has been - sort of - resolved. I have followed advice and reset preferences and all the other "magic tricks" but I still think FrameMaker typing speed starts slowing down when there are small amount of images.Same goes for moving images in frames. Slow.
It has not always been so, and it is not related to one pc, or one job. Hopefully it is just a passing thing in the continuing development process.
Are those images copied into the FM file or just references to external locations? Also IIRC there used to be a "turn off display of images so everything speeds up" flag someplace in the Prefs.
All images are imported with reference to source files. I have a feeling it relates to the images being png, but I have no evidence whatsoever 🙂 Yes, I believe it is possible to hide images. Have not tried though.
I haven't experienced the slow-down personally. If you figure out, please swing back by and let us know what it was, even it it just disappears after the next patch or major update.
