XARA 18... SO SLUGGISH... PLEASE HELP

Hello,
I just upgraded to the latest Xara Designer Pro X and I am having a debilitating problem with the program. The selection of any shape freezes the application for 15+ seconds. The application, in general, is SO SLUGGISH that I am unable to effectively get my work done. What happened? It is currently September 2021... is there any fix or update for this??? :-O

have you updated the program to version 18.5 - menu: help > check for updates

I am Closing this new Thread as the fuller detail in the Thread you also posted into, https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...546#post641546, is still current.
