    Hi. I just updated to IDL7.1 and there is soemthing that bugs me. I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere already but i have no time to browse the forums.   When i'm editing text in my code, idl slows down (command prompt lagging). It seems to be due to this new feature where when highlighting a word (for copying for example), IDL, searches for tha variable across the whole document to show you where it found it. It wil lalso show you content such as array values... my guess is that the slowdown is due to that feature. How do i disable that text recognition and variable data lookup feature? Running IDL7.1 on a brand new laptop. thanks

    Hi, If you open up the Preferences dialog (under the Window menu on Windows & Linux, and under the IDL Workbench menu on Mac), then look under IDL->Editor. There is a preference for "Highlight other occurrences" which you can disable. Hope this helps. -Chris ITTVIS
