Jeff G 1 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 It appears that the new feature to have previews of links / attachments in Notes is causing the browser to hang significantly. Depending on how long the Note is and how many links affects how long your browser hangs. I tested this with Edge and Chrome (latest) as well as in Chrome incognito. It seems to me there should be an option to disable this preview feature. Not everyone wants / needs to see previews. Link to comment

I actually did try that...I went and set those settings to be as basic as they can be. I even went as far as removing all links from this particular note. Every time I open this lengthy note, it stalls on me...then I scroll down and it stalls again. It will stall 3 or 4 times then the note will scroll freely. If I go to a different note that is more than a page (screen view) long, it will stall as well. The longer the note, the more stalling. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 3,855 Posted December 16, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted December 16, 2022 So the issue is a lengthy note, nothing to do with attachments. There have been other reports of problems with long notes in Chrome -- take a look around the forums and add your voice to those discussions, for instance: Link to comment

I tested on a couple others and the issue did not follow. (and now the issue has mysteriously disappeared....go figure :) ) 1 Link to comment
