    Default Xara extremely slow when moving many Paypal buttons

    It takes minutes for Xara Web Designer ver 12 to move a lot of items on a page when the page contains Paypal buttons.
    If there is a way around this please let me know, if not something needs to be done.
    I often have to slide things up or down on a page when inserting new things. I select all the elements and then move it down. When there are Paypal button in the selected items (lets say 20 buttons) it takes Xara a minute to move the items. That's a long time when you are trying to adust the position of these elements on the page.

    I've just create 50 PayPal buttons on a design page. selected all and click-dragged to anew position. All buttons and objects displayed and rendered fully during the drag, which was instantaneous.

    Perhaps you could upload your design file (XAR / WEB)?

    There is no delay during the drag. The long delay is after letting go.

    It seems sometimes when moving widgets Xara thinks they have been resized. It then re-generates the on page representation of the widget, and this can take a very long time, especially when external web addresses have to be evaluated.
    The only way to avoid this is to disable the "re-generate placeholder image automatically" option in the placeholder tab of the web properties for the widgets.

    Thanks siran, that's an old trick I used way back and never thought to suggest it as re-generate placeholder image automatically is always unticked for me.
