Scrolling very slugish

[CamilleScholtz]

Scrolling through a document (by either using the arrow keys or the mouse wheel) has become very slugish this week. I don't know if this is caused by a change in micro or on my system sadly...

I suspect micro is the cause, because a cli app like ncmpcpp scrolls smoothly.

Using newest micro.

I haven't noticed any decreased performance in scrolling. Maybe you could try an older version of micro to see if the older one is faster.

Just tried 1.4.0 and it's still slow, I wonder what caused this. I switched from the proprietary nvidia driver to neauvou, but I can't imagine that having an impact.

Having the same issue here on a Raspberry Pi 3, nano and vim are snappy but micro is very slow to load and scroll.

Encountering the same issue.

Its not so much about scrolling but about UI refresh
Using alt+down arrow is also slow.
Using alt+down, I can actually see the lines refresh progressively from top to bottom over the 0.1 seconds it takes (estimation)
I've also noticed it gets slower when the terminal window gets bigger (on a sidenote resizing the window often makes the UI go wild to the point that I have to restart the editor)
This behaviour is independent of the file size.
Vim and nano are very snappy in the same context

I'm using micro in the linux sandbox vm provided by default on my chromebook (admittedly not the fastest setup)
But a major benefit I expect from using a TUI is to have things snappy regardless of system performance.

Micro is all I'm looking for in a text editor, keep up the good work.

On alpine linux lxc container. Very slow scrolling past the first screen using web based terminal (xterm.js). However, when I ssh into it using windows terminal everything is fine. Do not have this problem with nano eidtor.
