Quote - Since updating with SR1 there has been a significant lag when switching cameras and when typing text in PP2012 (Mac). First there is a delay of a coouple seconds when nothing happens, then there is a further delay of 3-5 seconds while The Beachball of Death spins. This did not happen before SR1.
An odd thing with the typing -- this lag thing happens even when typing in a Save dialog as well as typing in parameter values or naming something to save to the library.
Anyone else, MAc or PC, see this?
A nice fix that is not documented: I no longer must move my cursor over the Preview window before any action in the Library takes effect. This was a problem in the original PP2010 and was fixed in one of the SRs, then appeared again in the original PP2012.
Go to your render settings. Click on the preview tab and turn off the shadows (not near poser at the moment) middle left of the dialog box. Make sure you save as preferred state or on the next launch they will be back. Had this off pre-sr1. Noticed the lag, turned off the preview shadows and all is good again. I only use the preview shadows at the very end of the creation process of a big scene to check lighting. Otherwise it is off all the time.
