Typing Becomes Slow and Laggy in Large Notes When Open Side by Side

Bear Version: 2.6.1 (13751)
OS Version: macOS 15.6.1

What I was doing: Working with two Bear notes side by side. Each note is very large (around 300k–400k characters).

Feature used: General typing, copy–paste from one note to another, and writing a few words.

Issue: When I type a few words, there’s a 3–4 second delay before the letters appear. While the letters appear slowly, it becomes super laggy and makes writing difficult.

Expected behavior: Typing and editing should work normally without noticeable delay.

Additional info:

  • I tried reinstalling Bear twice and restarting macOS, but the problem persists.

  • This is blocking urgent and important work. Because of this issue, I’m really unable to work or focus.

  • Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please update to release 2.6.1 by visiting Bear’s Mac App Store page and let us know if you still experience this issue:

sadly it’s still there.
