Serious lag when using some keyboard shortcuts

I have been using Rhino 8 since it came out and it was working very smoothly until a couple of weeks ago. Im not what has happened but now I get a serious lag when using some keyboard shortcuts such as “cmd + shift” to select individual edges of polysurfaces. Im currently getting a lag of about 2.5 to 3 seconds which is incredibly frustrating and really messing up my work flow.

I also get a lag of about 3 seconds when using “cmd + Z” to undo a command

There isn’t any lag when typing in commands. For instance, if I type group it works instantly but if I use “cmd + G” it takes about 3 seconds to complete the command.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Tilly -

Can you confirm that completely quitting Rhino, launching Rhino, creating a simple box, and then using cmd+Shift takes about 3 seconds to select a single edge of the box?

I can confirm there is no lag when I completed those actions.

Must be somthing in my models?

Hi Tilly -

Do you typically have several models open at the same time - even for shorter durations? We are tracking a slow-down that occurs when that is the case. The only option, at that point, is to quit Rhino and open a single model.

Or are you experiencing this slow-down with a particular model when only one has been opened during the Rhino “session”? If that’s the case, we’d need to get the model to be able to troubleshoot further.

Yes I can have up to 7 different files open, which I try and keep to a minimum, closing ones Im not working on.

However, I also get a lot of lag when having one open too. Ive attached the model I opened this morning in which I was experiencing lots of delay.

Hi Tilly -

I don’t know if that means that shutting down the machine, booting up again, running Rhino and only opening that one single file will lead to a lag.

With the bug that we know about, opening multiple documents, and then closing all but one will still cause the lag. So, “having one open” isn’t giving me enough information to understand if this is the same thing.

This means that even when i have restarted my computer and only opened a single file in Rhino, the lag is still present.

Can you tell me what information you need and I will try and provide it

Hi @Tilly the issue you’re describing sounds a lot like an issue that was very recently patched in Rhino 8 SR9 which is the current service release candidate. You might try updating to that version to see if it resolves your issue, if not we can go from there to try to track down the problem. Here’s a link to the other, similar issue. RH-82080

Hi @Trav, the rhino I’m using says its up to date. (Rhino 8 SR8 2024-6-11) It’s rhino for mac if that makes a difference

Hi Tilly -

You are running 8.8, which is the current Service Release.
Travis was referring to the 8.9 Service Release Candidate, and you’d have to change the update frequency in Rhino to have those installed.
That said, the fix for RH-82080 isn’t in the current 8.9 SRC. If all goes well, we’ll be releasing a new public 8.9 SRC about 14 hours from now.
