xhtml editor is terribly slow

[mugwump]

I just wonder, if anyone else has made the same experience: I'm using exadel to edit facelet/xhtml-pages mixed with some javascript. And the xhtml-editor is slow up to being completely unusable, even if I use it in the source-only mode.

I'm not sure, what exactly makes it so slow, as content-assist is almost non-existent (attributes for tags work, but as I am using seam it does not resolve any el-statements). I now switched back to the html-editor from wtp: Functionality is not too different, but at least it doesn't hang up and it is fast.

So, here are my questions:

- anyone knows what causes the editor to be so damn slow?
- are there any new features for the editor planned in the red-hat-release (resolving el's for seam?!)

cheers

No i dno't know why it should be slow. How big are your files ?

and yes, resolving el's for seam is already implemented for @Name'ed components.

More on the way...look in our RHDS jira for seam feature requests and let us know ;)

the files are small most of the time: Between 5 and 10kb. Most of the layout-info is in css and a template, so there is only some simple display-logic left.

Is mixing java-script and xhtml a problem? I'm currently prototyping, so i have some inline javascript in the files - maybe this causes the editor to choke?!

PS: resolving seam-el's is great news! Are there any betas planned?! "Summer" is a little vague for a release-date, are there any dates for a pre-release?

alpha is planned for soon ;)

if you could please report steps to reproduce this it would be great (put it in rhds jira)
