Drawing Typing-Speed Improvement Request

JollyJolly Member Posts: 81 PRO
edited May 2020 in Product Feedback
Currently the situation is such that while typing in Drawing notes and custom tables, typing is very slow and I typically have to go back and re-write something because onshape missed some of my keystrokes. And this is not just me mistyping. If I type slower (say, under 3ish keystrokes per second) it generally isn't an issue.

Is this caused by it recording every keystroke in the drawing database so if I keystroke before a response is had back it may miss it?

Edited to add: This seems worse in a custom table (I made it into engineering rev table) than in a note. Notes seem to respond faster.
Edited: Made proper-case title.

    @Jolls This is not something we want voting on and would like to log it and get it looked at. I will pull a ticket.

    @lougallo - do you think this may be bug? Typing text in notes and tables for drawings has always been pretty slow for me and others I work with. I don't think I've had issues with characters being missed, but I do have to wait for the text to catch up to my typing before I can see if I've made a typo, which can be annoying.

    This is soooo slow for me right now. clicking on an item in the table takes over 2 seconds. then it fails to register key presses for a second. it's unbearably slow and its incredibly frustrating. im wokring on a table of over 24 items and i may need to make the table in google sheets and just include a screenshot.

    In tables, I think you can use Enter and Tab to move around the cells if that is any faster.

    Is there any chance a normal text input could be overlaid as a text edit box, rather than in the drawing itself?
    This would make it like how the dimension edit box in a part studio works and possibly make it a lot faster.

    Slow note editing speed issues here as well.
