This is a read-only archive of the inkscapeforum.com site. You can search for info here or post new questions and comments at When I try to edit text I find Inkscape takes a long time after 'Apply' [change] to be able to then move to the next edit. Is this a known problem?
I've checked my CPU/ memory commitments and their is loads to spare.
Text: Editing slowness
Re: Text: Editing slowness
You must be using the Text and Font dialog? It wouldn't be surprising that it takes a long time, if you are editing a large amount of text.
But you can edit on canvas, in my opinion, much easier.
All the commonly used features are available from the control bar, on the canvas (since a couple of new versions ago). Since then, I never open Text and Font dialog.

Thanks.
I don't know about 'canvas'; where do you find it?

Re: Text: Editing slowness
inkscape has a window sometimes called the drawing board, at the center of which is a page and at the top of which is a control bar that contains settings and controls appropriate to the currently chosen tool.

Your mind is what you think it is.
Re: Text: Editing slowness
What is labelled as 'Window' in druban's screenshot is what is generally called the canvas. The window is the whole screenshot, the canvas is the area where you can draw.
The 'Control bar' is the 'Tool controls bar', btw.

Something doesn't work? - Keeping an eye on the status bar can save you a lot of time!

For more information on the Inkscape interface: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... atomy.html
The Command Bar can also be located above the Tools Controls (default layout).
