This is a bug I have seen since V8 came out but I am finally annoyed enough to write.
That is, the Properties panel stops updating for an extended period of time. Usually, when this happens it displays the viewport properties. Here I have a text box selected but the properties panel does not show the text box…
It looks like there is something going on in the background that blocks the properties panel from updating.
I have also seen this where selecting object-1, then select object-2, and object-1’s properties sit on the screen for a minute or so. However, this is much rarer than seeing the display properties being displayed.

I updated one (of many) where it occurs frequently. I do a lot of text editing, layer changing, and style changing in a layout. Then Rhino either has a long delay between selection and updating or does not update at all.
When the latter happens, I have to switch to a view then back to the layout to reset.
Hi @miano,
We tested your model here and experienced no issues with the Property panel.
We were testing with Rhino 8 sr10 WIP that will be out Wednesday as the release candidate.
See the performance we have getting with your file in this video.
We can see you took your screen captures from the Top model viewport, so that is where we tested.
Since is happening sometimes and then not others, and since it is obviously not following the file, we will need you to keep any eye on it.
And you can test with the SR10 Release candidate next week when it is released.
Let us know if you come up with any details on how to duplicate the behavior on our computers. If we can duplicate the issue on our computers. then we can write a bug.
Hi @miano,
I worked with this some more today in your file and on a layout set to 1:192.
But never reached the point where the issue occurred.
See video here.
Throughout the session the speed of editing with the panel remained snappy and as expected.
These are very difficult issues have.
Keep your eye on the trigger.
If you come up with something repeatable, let us know so we can try it here.
