Appcelerator Studio is very slow when scroll

Question

• Appcelerator Studio, build: 4.7.1.201609100950
• macOS Sierra 10.12
• iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
• Java 8
• Node.js 4.4.7
• npm 2.15.8
• Titanium CLI 5.0.9

I've tried (many times) to reinstall the editor, but without solving the problem. The editor is really really slow when scroll (after macOS Sierra update). It's impossible to use it without going crazy. I use Appcelerator Studio for many years and i have never had these problems.

There are other external components that could upgrade / reinstall? (Java.. etc etc)

Thanks

Update

In addition to the slowdown, the editor does not properly recognize the file format.

Answer 1

I had this slow down issue with appcelerator Studio as well (some of my colleagues swear by using Atom editor)... this happens with Appcelerator when you have one .js file that is huge (thousands of lines).

Ideally, split your js file into seperate commonJS files and coll them into the original js file with require('filejs')
