AH! thanks for this Wes - I noticed this problem but had no idea what it was :P

FYI, this is a quick way to add it to Win10 startup:

And all is right with the world again.... Well, at least with drawing in Moho anyway ;)
Big thanks again, Wes!

Nice tip, Funks :)

This problem from AS 11.2 is still an issue for 13.5 on Windows 10. Luckily, my above fix, updated for Moho 12, still works for 13.5.

Oh, I wasn't aware of this fix! Thanks for posting the solution Wes.

I generally avoided using sticky keys in Moho because I thought the lag was normal when a Moho project reached a certain complexity or number of keyframes.

Will check my Repeat Rate to see how it makes a difference for a heavy project file, and then try the script to fix it specifically for Moho.

I took a few minutes to play around with this.

I checked my Repeat Rate and Repeat Delay setting and they were already set to the fastest/shortest settings.

For me the lag occurs most noticeably when the Style window is left open (as Wes noted,) even with a fairly simple project file. It's really bad with a more complicated project. When I close the Style window, Sticky Keys is reasonably speedy. Leaving the Tools or Switch Selection window open has a minimal lag effect...it's there but barely noticeable compared to when the Style window is open.

I guess this is fine for me because I normally keep my Style window closed during animation, but knowing specifically what causes the lag is very helpful!

Hopefully this lag with the Style window open gets properly fixed in a future update.
