On the "the latest update, 10.83.5, it has improved some", I've noticed that the latency when typing into long notes with lots of bulleted list has improved a bit as well, but unfortunately not enough to help. So they do likely recognize the problem, and seemed to do some optimizing around it, however the initial problem still exists. This is still a show stopper for me so unfortunately I've been having to bounce between Evernote and Apple notes now, it's a bit of a nightmare. Hi Dave, it's specifically really long notes that contain bulleted lists which greatly slow down Evernote. At least that's been my experience. If a long note does not have numerous bullet edited lists, it renders quickly, and I can type into it just fine.

Check this thread out to see if it rings true for you two as well. Someone helped me figure out that it's large notes with lots of bulleted lists, at least in my case. https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/151176-latency/

Good call! That's seems to be what is causing the problem. Most of my notes consist of 90% bulleted lists. I created a new note and copied a massive amount of text into it, with no lists, and can type just fine with NO lag. However when going to a note with lots of lists and text, the lag is immediately apparent. I haven't looked at the collapsible list feature, to see if there is a way to turn it off, I'm guessing not. Side rant: I know these new features are added for a reason, but man, for those that are already happy with EN, the pace of change lately has been very disruptive. I'll be sure to mention this as the apparent source of the problem to support, hopefully they can add yet another setting to turn that feature off, or re-work it to not crush the performance when working on notes with lots of list based text. And good call again. Thanks.

Actually, I take that back on the idea of the key press event handler as it also takes much longer to even render a note once it's selected on the left, so it's not unique to typing. I'm experiences some sort of lag / latency in the rendering of the note itself, not just when typing. And again, it's heavily proportional to the size of the note. Some of my notes are 50 pages long (long logs of activity), but that's never been a problem before the latest release or two. If I create a new empty note and start typing, it's fine. I get the impression that @chilee is experiencing something similar, but I'm curious if they can confirm.

Thanks s2sailor, I did an uninstall, appclear, reinstall from the website and unfortunately it's still happening. I just haven't had time to gather information for support yet. What I don't get is why I'm seeing this but not many other people seem to be hitting it. I see it across two different Macs, both on Sonoma, an M1 with 16gb, and an M2 with 32gb. I see it both in the desktop client and in the web client. I don't have any special virus scanners or special utilities running, just fairly clean Macs. It takes about 10 seconds for a sentence to show up after I've typed it. Through looking in the profiler in the Chrome dev tools, I'm pretty convinced that something changed with respect to key press event handlers and how / when things are rendered in either Evernote or Chromium. I thought it might be Chromium / Electron but I see the same lag, actually worse, in Safari, so I'm leaning toward Evernote at this point. I need to gather information and get it off to support. Thanks.

Thanks @s2sailor! I just found it under the "..." settings menu in the upper right of the editor. That's very helpful. It unfortunately doesn't fix my typing lag issue, but I'll tackle that next. Cheers.

Oh thanks @VincentC, I found it under the editor settings in the "..." in the upper right. So it is there on Mac as well. I was looking under application level settings. Now back to my typing lag issue, but that's a separate topic. Thanks again. Cheers.

Thanks Vincent, I got excited for a moment, but that must only be on the Windows desktop app? I'm on Mac, just uninstalled it, cleaned up, then installed it from the website and it's still version 10.81.4, unless I'm missing the setting. Thanks.

Peter, just wanted to add a +1 for the "Insert..." text being incredibly distracting, couldn't agree more and I hope there is a setting to disable it asap. PinkElephant, from my experience, I would say the editor is not the same, in addition to the "Insert.." prompt, I'm also seeing an incredible lag / delay when typing into larger notes. Not sure if it's related to the new "Insert.." feature or not. But things have definitely changed in the editor.

Just came here to add a +1 that the "Press '/' to insert an element" is terribly distracting and I hope it's removed as soon as possible. I've emailed my feedback to Evernote. I'm also getting a several second lag / delay when typing in larger notes with the latest update, but that's a different topic / thread.

Yes I'm getting this as well with the latest update. I'm using the Mac Desktop app but it also occurs in the web version. It seems to be proportional to the size of the note. Meaning if I type into an empty or small note, the lag is minimal, but when typing into a very long note, I'm getting a major latency / lag when typing, multiple seconds. It really makes it unusable in most of my notes. This is new as of this latest update as I use Evernote for several hours per day. I tried disabling spellcheck, restarting evernote, rebooting, looking for new settings to adjust, all of the obvious things, and nothing fixes it. I'm working on contacting support and I hope others do as well.
