- OS: 10.14.6 (18G4032)
- Browser: Chrome Version 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Steps
- Visit https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Contact_list?veaction=editsource for example
- Start editing
- After a bit the whole browser becomes very laggy, editing that page is very hard and laptop fans start blowing strong
Expected
- Editing is smooth and the browser doesn't lag
Other details
- When opening "Activity Monitor" there is a process called AppleSpell using 70% CPU, and Chrome uses 30% more
- If you don't edit for a while, the process finishes its job and CPU usage goes back to "normal"
- If you edit anything else the situation starts again
This makes the edit source mode basically unusable.
