Scrolling unresponsive in LyX 2.4.0

[Hung-Tzu Chang]

Dear Jean-Marc,

There are a few entries with about 10 authors or so. If this counts as
large then maybe this is the case. The interesting thing is that the freeze
when scrolling through the list of potential citation entries occurs mostly
(if not always) when the \cite command is clicked for the first time, while
the freeze with clicking the "Cancel" button happens irrespective of
whether the \cite command is clicked before or not. This phenomenon also
happens exclusively for 2.4 series. I have not experienced this in version
2.3.7.

Thanks!

Best,
Hung-Tzu

P.S. One more thing that I just noticed. The freeze of the main window does
not occur exclusively for scrolling. It can also be triggered when clicking
an item on the menu bar (e.g. File). The drop-down menu would freeze for a
few seconds and go back to normal. Whether the main window/menu freeze or
the freeze of the citation window occurs depends on the file (complexity).
For a small/simple file (~700 words) with the same bibtex library (and some
cited references with many authors) these do not happen.
