    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,

    thx four your replay.

    "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."

    Thumbs down Re: version 18 is too slow compared to version 17, not usable for me

    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?
