Hello, I am using Web Workbench with Visual Studio 2013. When I am editing LESS code the IDE becomes really slow. If I disable Web workbench everything goes back to normal. Any idea what might be going on? Thank You, Miguel |

We have seen situations like this occur when there is a large hierarchy of included files, try enabling the setting "Enable experimental fixes" under Tools/Options/Web Workbench to see if this improves performance.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 and I'm also experiencing slow downs. I don't know if this is related to recompiling, but I have noticed, that the saving of a file triggers the recompile of all .scss files (I'm using compass). Not only once but around ten times per save. I became aware of this when I added a @debug statement. The output was written ten times to the output window (no, it is not an imported file). I tried to disable compile on save and enable compile on build, but that didn't change much. Is there some log file which documents what trigger (save/build) causes which files to compile? Thanks for any info on the issue. I have to ditch web workbench if I can't get this resolved. Thanks, Jörg |

Sounds like this issue - http://www.mindscapehq.com/forums/thread/1474977 - We have added a fix for this which is now available in the nightly builds and will be included in the next gallery update so if this is still occurring after you are able to update could you please send through a small repro project which we can use to investigate this.

I tried "Enable experimental fixes" under Tools/Options/Web Workbench but it didn't help ... The problems are solved only when I disable Workbench extension ... With the extension enabled it becomes almost impossible to edit LESS files. It is so slow ... Any idea when this might be solved? |

Can you check you are running on the latest gallery update please as the fix described above will be included in this update. If you are running on the latest update could you please send through a small repro project which highlights the slowness you are seeing with some basic instructions to help us reproduce this locally (e.g. edit file x, start typing, this is what I am seeing that is slow) and I can have a look into whats occurring and look to make a fix if there is a problem.

Just upgraded to VS 2013 myself and experienced the same slowness. My main file is 1700+ lines with 20+ imports. Just opening the main file caused the UI to freeze for 20-30 seconds which was not the case in VS 2012. I read that VS 2013 did a lot to "enhance" developer productivity and one of these is to show various annotations composited over the scroll bar. After turning this junk off the slowness went away for me. Doesn't appear to be a web workbench issue. Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars -> uncheck the "Show annotations over vertical scroll bar" |

@Strandedpirate Thanks! This really helped! It was unuseable before, but now it seems to be running like a charm :-) |
