Daniel: Might as well have been fractal, given the performance hit

Anyway, thank you Sam! It works great. The computers where I work are donated, and much slower than my laptop. I *knew* there had to be some possibility to fix it. I suppose the donated ones have an older jEdit version installed. I’ll make sure to uncheck the fractional font metrics on those as well in case they ever get updated.

JE 4.4pre1 and having the same issue. I was about ready to (VERY reluctantly) abandon JE because of the workflow hit. Your fix worked like a charm. THANK YOU!

Oh, thanks !!

It’s “Fractional font metrics”, not “Fractal”

** Thank You **
New machine, and suddenly JEdit was not performing at all — I was pulling my hair out. I’m very grateful for your post!

Thanks – this was driving me nuts. Works much better now under jEdit 4.3

In jEdit 4.3pre15 scrolling is fast with this option checked. Probably they have broke something in later versions. Also it depends on what jre you are installing. For jEdit 4.3pre17 I have found jdk where scrolling is fast.
