Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Steps to Reproduce

Create a plan and watch how slowly it creates.

Make it work like it did before.

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a rendering performance issue, and it’s a known issue the team is working on.

Can you help with some diagnostics:

  • Record a short video (10 to 15 sec) of the plan creation flow, where we can see the “save/unsaved” flicker in the sidebar
  • About how long does plan creation take now vs before?
  • Does this happen with any plan, or only with specific requests?

I’ll pass this info to the team for further investigation.

I’m having the exact same issue. I thought it was the Prettier extension trying to format on each write. But disabling it didn’t help much. IT does try to save the file on each character.

it happens on every plan I generate including when it tweaks the plan.

Thanks for the video! I’ve passed it on to the team for further investigation.

Hey all!

This should now be fixed in 2.4!
