content of the Preview-tab is shaking when editing fountain-documents with snippet_fountain=true about geany-preview HOT 5 CLOSED

I recognized today that this behavior does also exist with a very long html-document when typing extremely fast with this setting: snippet_html=false. But with snippet_html=true there is no shaking.

It seems to be that it is too much work for the processor. But nevertheless the Preview-tab should not shake.

Maybe those thoughts could help to find a solution:

What about the idea to put changes above each other, instead of replacing each time the content. Or, instead of putting all layers above each other, to use only two layers, the old layer and the new layer, so the old content and the new content, so that it will no shake any more.

For me, from all open issues at the moment, this is the most important issue, because it disturbs too much. I understand that the more text exists, the slower changes will appear in the Preview. But at any time there should be no shake at all.

It looks like the problem is when the CSS is directly embedded in the HTML (no shaking) vs when the CSS file is externally linked (shaking). CSS will be embedded when native Fountain and Markdown processing is used.

Fixed in 2a01f81. PPA will be updated.

I made different tests with fountain, md and html with those settings:

snippet_html=true
snippet_markdown=true
snippet_fountain=true
extra_css=extra-media.css & extra_css=disable
no background color in the html

I can confirm that this issue was fixed with the settings above.
Thank you so much for that feature.
