Text Block Lag in Version 2017, Mac mini, Mojave OS

[KenAB94662 2]

I've recently upgraded hardware. Got the fastest Mac mini (2018 model) with SSD storage. It came with macOS 10.14, and I've been keeping the OS up-to-date (currently 10.14.3).

 

Problem is, in Vectorworks 2017, there's a noticeable response lag when typing in or editing a simple text block. In fact, it's quite disrupting. Can't get much done. It's not snappy at all, not like in my older slower Mac. Probably a good half second to two seconds for anything like inserting text, double-clicking to highlight text, tapping enter after writing the text — even drag-moving a text block, which is weird. Might be a clue. But a clue to what?

Everything else seems okay. Walls edit okay, dimensions okay, modeling okay.

What could be the cause of this problem?

2017 is not recommended with Mac OS 10.14.

Best option is to upgrade to 2019 or at least 2018 SP6.

That's unfortunate. And especially sad that, and I quote, "because critical bugs were introduced in the release of macOS Mojave that will affect the performance and stability of Vectorworks."
