v17 - 30 seconds for any change.
v18 & v21 much worse.
Reinhard, you do have over 6,000 objects in play and the XDAs have repeatedly failed at scale for large numbers of page in DTP, too many Repeating Groups in Web and here in a large drawing.

Hey Acron,

"XDAs have repeatedly failed at scale for large numbers of page in DTP, too many Repeating Groups in Web and here in a large drawing."

Sorry Reinhard, I have corrected a small typo in my OP and your Reply.
I was saying that the XDAs die a slow death, if you have too many pages (DTP, Web, Variants), repeating objects or shapes.
My favourite pastime is watching the Web Properties > Link >Link to web input box vanish when the XDA is traversing its internal heaps, a sign that the XDA has reached its limit.

Hi,
We have accidentally introduced an unwanted "order of complexity" issue with large groups in the Selector tool.
This will be fixed in a patch soon.

Thank you for letting us all know.
Does this also address the other mentions of large numbers pages and repeating objects?

No, this is a specific problem in the Selector tool.
Have the issues with large documents and repeating objects been reported elsewhere? What is the scenario?

I swear I bashed my gums over this with Xara (& Cloud) back in July last year.
I was no willing to upload a 56MB files during the middle of a frustrating development period.
My workaround was to delete all Repeating Group while working on the design and re-apply prior to a re-issue.
My second workaround was to fall back to XWDPv15.0 as my client had that and reported fewer timing problems.
Basically, the selection of any shape would freeze the application for 15+ seconds.
The MS Windows Ring of Ouroboros would spin for 15+ seconds; the Web Properties > Link > Link to box would vanish; the monitor screen would go black; the application would jump behind other open windows.
Each and every click.
I have cut out all the large images and the file size is now 3MB. The document has 107 web pages and one Variant.
In Xara Pro+ (Xara Designer Pro+ 21.0.0.61527 SL x64 Mar 9 2021), the same is still occurring. [Pro+ is referred to as Xara Designer Pro+ 18 18.0.0.61527 in File > Document History > History tab]
UPDATE: I tried a PM with Attachment but lost it - I will email your directly.
UPDATED UPDATE: I have just created a test file that all can play with: Attachment 129251
The delay in this simply Conventional Website is around 3 seconds a click, a move, a jump. same applied - 3 seconds - for a single letter change in the text!
Open the Web Properties dialog and watch the Link Tab and the Link to Box.
Consider the frustration when this telescopes out to 15+ seconds.

Reinhard, I had a PM back from PhilM advising that there are a number of separate issues resulting in the slowness and that they are being worked on.
