Text Frame Lag when Window > Control (Panel) is enabled.
When Control Panel is enabled (Window > Control), double clicking into a text frame has a lag for about a second. Turning off the Control Panel helps but this is not a solution.
I think this lag is related to loading fonts in background for the select field – doesn’t matter how much or how less fonts are installed/loaded on Mac.
As this is a long existing performance issue yet (available since 2018), could you please consider to optimize the lag for text frames within a future update, finally?

I confirm this issue remains a problem as of 2025-05-12. Please look into this.
I have told my team to disable it in the control panel and keep the panel docked as an icon only with auto-hide for when setting the character font is required.
I have tried disabling "Enable in-menu font previews" and this doesn't fix the problem. There's still a lag when using the text tool to click into a box and dragging to select text isn't possible most of the time because of the lag.
