Text Selection Lag

[Panaxiom]

I just started migrating my large project over from InDesign, but I'm running into a lot of strange lag issues. One that's particularly frustrating is when trying to select text across multiple font styles. It freezes a moment as if it were processing something. I can even hear my graphics card's fan revving up for some reason. I can scroll my selection cursor up and down the text box and it lags out repeatedly, but only the first time it encounters a new font style. I've attached an example of some multi-style text in a new doc. I'm worried that if it's struggling already, that migrating my 300+ page book over to AP isn't going to be feasible.

So I'm not sure what happened, but when I loaded it up today, this bug was gone. It had been a constant issue the past few days, but not now. In fact, a lot of the lagging I've been experiencing is mysteriously gone today. I'm at a loss, but I'm definitely not complaining.

Curious I tried your sample file and that was working fine for me. If it happens again please get in touch

Maybe there was an update in windows, that needed more resources. Do you use any third-party programme that works in the backround (e. g. Antivirus software)?

I think it might actually have something to do with the memory leak issue that's been mentioned in other posts. Whenever I start getting lag now, I just save and restart the software to make it go away for a good while again.

I'm searching in the forum but there is no mention of the memory leak in the last 6 months (other than your post above). I'm working on the latest Publisher on a PDF exported from MS Word (what a hack job), but if thats what client supplies then thats what I work with. In any case, it's my first time seeing this memory leak every 90 to 120 minuets I need to do the same, save and restart. It's a technical book about building steel frames of 250 pages, lots of images and text mixed together. I just wanted to mention it's still an issue. I guess thats not a show stopper, but really-deeply annoying.

I should mention that I've worked on documents over 700 pages before with out seeing this and the main thing that changed was adding an additional 32gigs of memory to my system, so it's 48 gigs from what was a 16 gig system. I wonder if too much memory (ie anything over 16gigs) is the issue that stumps some thing in Publisher.
