Since Update Extreme Lag - Debug ID D1190699140

Since installing the most recent update (7.0.15) Zotero on MacOS (14.6.1) is totally unusable the lag when scrolling is extremely bad, the CPU seems very high (>500% see image). This is very similar to what happened previously that was fixed but for now my Zotero is unusable. I am only trying to read a single 11 page PDF with no images. This may also be a result of 7.0.14 as I updated these only yesterday.

Opening in troubleshoot mode seems to resolve the issue but disabling plugins in normal mode does not.

On an aside, the better notes issue that I had with crashing when loading files with a lot of notes appears to be resolved.

Does it happen in Troubleshooting Mode (Help -> Restart in Troubleshooting Mode)?

@adomasven sorry I did edit my original post to add that detail as I felt it would be useful.

No it does not happen in trouble shooting mode but does happen with all plugins disabled

You have your Zotero data directory in cloud storage, which Zotero would've warned you not to do. Whether or not that's causing this, we can't help you further here as long as that's the case.

@dstillman thanks for your reply. This is a locally stored folder that has been exactly the same for 4 almost 4 years. The file is not accessed anywhere except via Zotero and the only thing that has changed is the Zotero update. It works perfect in every other way and perfectly in troubleshooting mode. Unfortunately this is a Zotero issue and not a file directory issue.

It doesn't matter — it's in a clearly identified cloud storage path. If you'd like our help in these forums, you'll need to move it out and provide another Debug ID.
