Description
Keybase GUI Version: 6.0.4-20230113191846+6e1343b357
I use Keybase heavily on macOS to chat with several colleagues. I and some of these colleagues who use the macOS app have found in the past year or so that the chat UI has become extremely sluggish (several seconds' delay between my typing a character and its appearance in the GUI). There is no such slowdown in the iOS app, however.
I have very long chat histories with several users; not sure if that has to do with the UI sluggishness or not.
If I can provide any logs or other data collection to help diagnose this pathology, please do let me know.
