Hello,

Recently I noticed that when I open the “add new tag” window, the javaw.exe process takes around 50% of CPU as long as that window is open. as soon as I close it everything gets normal again.

In another post I read about a similar problem saying that it’s a project issue, perhaps with a very “heavy” window, so I closed all my windows in the designer and I just opened the “Add new tag” dialog box and happens the same thing.

The good thing is that closing completely the designer and opening it again solves the problem, so it’s not a very critic issue.

Best Regards.

What version are you using? I’m not able to replicate this.
