 * After the latest update, which I applied two days ago, text I type in is appearing
   slower than I type. On my Macbook Pro, the text is slightly delayed. Enough I
   have to wait 2-3 seconds at the end of a sentence. On my desktop, which is older,
   less than half a sentence has appeared by the time I’m finished. The delay is
   very frustrating. Anyone else suffering this issue?
 * Thanks

 * I noticed there was a recent bug report that sounds similar, and it was fixed
   about 2 weeks ago (about the same time you wrote in) and I believe the fix, if
   it’s the same issue, would have been included in the Gutenberg 3.2 release.
 * See [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7680](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/7680)
 * Would it be possible for you to test with Gutenberg 3.2 to see if the problem
   is still happening with that version?
 * Note: the 7680 issue was for cases where there are a lot of blocks in a given
   post (e.g. 50+). Out of curiosity, can you check to see how many blocks are present
   in a typical post of yours? You can see the number of blocks under the info icon
   at the top: [https://cloudup.com/cZJfA7_hRGH](https://cloudup.com/cZJfA7_hRGH)
 * And if you have a moment to document your browser version and OS, that information
   often proves useful when researching or reviewing these issues! I test most often
   with Firefox 61.0.1 on macOS 10.13.5 but I also have other major browsers that
   I use often and some Windows VMs setup for testing.

 * Thanks for the response. I’m afraid I cannot test as I’ve rebuilt the site as
   there were some other issues. Fairly certain there were more than 50 blocks, 
   since I was working on a lengthy article with a plan to split it up once completed.
   That appears to have been a mistake, but I’ll try again later.
 * All of this was on a Mac running Chrome version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build)(
   64-bit), if that helps. When I finish setting up the new install, I will try 
   Gutenberg and see how it makes a difference.
 * Thanks again
