Same issue here! The new app design is incedbily buggy in all sorts of ways, but this issue is really annoying, and getting any LIVE help from Evernotes seems impossible. They will not even admit there is a problem, and it is impossible to get any sort of LIVE support anymore from the company!
My workflow involves a lot of screengrabs, which I normally just drag from the snapshot folder to Evernote. In the old version of Evernotes there were never any issues, but in this new version, i get the freeze which can lock up evernotes sometimes for up to almost a minute !@#$%
There are many other issues with this new version of Evernotes. I'm currently using 10.18.3. It's like Evernotes is relying on US THE CUSTOMER to debug their release! THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE.
What's even worse, this thread started on April 10. It is now August 12, and no representative of Evernotes has even bothered to reply here in this thread!
I have been a loyal user of Evernotes since they first released it ten years ago, but frankly I am now looking for an alternative!
