Very Laggy 1.4
I have 3 scripts, one of them with about 7 blocks, one of them with about 2 blocks, and one with about 40. When I edit the one with 40 blocks, like click on a space where you put numbers and stuff in, it takes about 4 seconds to put in the blue blinking thing, then I type something in, and then 2 seconds later it types in. Also, when I drag a block from the side menu, after I pass the line in between, it freezes Scratch for about 2 seconds, then continues. And when I'm moving scripts, sometimes I try to drag them normally, and then 2 seconds later it pops up the menu that has the "Help", "Delete" and "Duplicate" buttons in it. All three things are really annoying.

Re: Very Laggy 1.4
well, it's not the full 1.4, it's the release candidate. where you downloaded it, it said that you should do all your real projects on 1.3 until you have the full version.

Re: Very Laggy 1.4
A bit. It's the most annoying when you try to "pick up" sprite from Stage, it won't highlight and go up, instead, a menu appears...
Lags? I have 4 loooooooooong scripts in Trapped (Those for changing rooms) and it's almost impossible to edit them without waiting 2 seconds from action to effect, or moving blocks you want edit out of the main script. And when you snap the next piece of code to the script, the stamp of the mouse stays there. There are lags, but I hope they'll fix them.

Re: Very Laggy 1.4
OMG I'm having the exact same problem! Except it takes about half a minute for the blue thing to appear, and then about the same time to type in just one letter. And when I click away from doing that, I keep thinking the computers frozen, but then one minute later, it's back to normal speed. I have 2 scripts, one with about 20 blocks, one with just one. And I have Windows XP Home Edition with 256 MB of RAM. I think that the new blocks are great, but the program is just too slow. That's why I haven't been online for a few days. And I have the "two cursors" problem too, where you're moving the cursor but because of the lag, there's a stamp of where the cursor was 5 seconds ago. And then it goes away after a few seconds.

I have the exact same problems, even the cursor one! But I have 2GB RAM.

Re: Very Laggy 1.4
The final version of Scratch 1.4 fixes a problem in the 1.4rc (release candidate) that could cause Scratch to be slow or to not redraw the screen. Most of the problem reports came from Vista users, but it may have been a problem for some XP users as well.
Anyone who's had problems with Scratch 1.4rc (release candidate) should download and install the final version of Scratch 1.4. I hope that will fix the lag problems. (And, even if you aren't having any problems, if you installed Scratch 1.4rc you should upgrade to the final Scratch 1.4 since that fixes a number of bugs.)
Scratch on!

I agree. I'm using Vista right now and the final version is NOT laggy at all.
