Catalina 10.15.1 Runs TextEdit Slowly

[ruffy]

TextEdit 1.15 is very slow on Catalina.
(E.g., the long latency on open; the remnants of a textual mirage; the cursor circling in wait state.
Previous versions of a MacOS I don't recall having such poor response time.
Is it just me?

Maybe try updating to the newest version of Catalina and see if that fixes it. 10.15.3 is out now.

Try updating to 10.15.3 and to the latest version of TextEdit as well. If not, submit reports with both Apple and the app's developer for good measure.
