selecting multiple columns very slow

[plsqlneil]

If I go into the browser and look at a table's columns, and try to select a few (while holding control) it takes a long time to select each one. Is some sort of dictionary query happening behind the scenes for each column added to the selection? All I want to do is "copy comma separated" for a subset of the columns.

Selecting a continuous range by holding shift does not seem to have this problem.

It may be related to the "Show dictionary info in result grid" preference (Tools > Preferences > SQL Window). Can you disable it and try again?

nope that didn't make any difference.

To obtain some more diagnostic information, can you modify the shortcut and add the debugsql parameter? For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" debugsql

Reproduce the problem and send me the debug.txt file that is generated in the PL/SQL Developer directory.
