I'm hoping there's a solution to a problem I'm having with Sesame 2.1's report designer.

Whenever I run the designer, and open a report, the entire computer I'm using slows down to a crawl.  The mouse moves slower, and Sesame's interface takes at least 20 seconds to save a report.

My question is this...

After trying several different things, something in my Sesame.ini file is causing the issue.  I'm at a loss because I can't figure out which setting is causing the issue.  Below is my Sesame.ini file, for reference:

Thanks for any help I can get.

I'm not sure it's the ini file causing this. I don't know of any settings that would do so, especially in design mode. Is it all reports, or just some?

I agree that this is weird. Are you running standalone or client/server?

Its the "SNAP TO GRID" option in the sesame.ini file that seems to be the culprit. I'll take a look at it for the next release. In the meantime, turn it off while you are working on reports.
