Flash of content while editing slides

Opened this issue 12 years ago · 3 comments

I know for 1.1 this probably isn't an option, but the current method of reloading the slide object on every keystroke, while functional, is rather... let's say "flashy".

I think this will be a decent stop-gap (and in the interest of launching "true" WYSIWYG, very worth it) however I think we will need to migrate to a different solution in the future to maintain a high level of user experience.

I'm tagging this for 1.2, but personally would be very happy to see this in a point release as well :)

I also didn't notice this earlier, but there are occasional problems with HTML entities as well. I'm not positive these two are related, but I'd rather not create a new issue until I know one way other the other.

I've noticed that the flash of content only happens when there is a background image loaded. Presumably, reloading the DOM element w/o background image is less intensive in some way and the browser is able to repaint faster?

Just adding to this, it only appears to happen when the background-size CSS property is set. Presumably the resizing of the background image is actually the slow part.
