Emacs 26.1 problem

Emacs 26.1 problem

Hi,

I am using the latest emacs 26.1 compiled with msys2/mingw64.
There is problem for a few weeks.
I am not able to give a recipe to reproduce it but the symptoms
are :
- slow ido behavior, much slower than it used to be
- sometimes erratic behavior with the keyboard events
Example: M-x find-library <some string>, get a bunch of choices,
try to navigate them and the cursor jumps erratically between choices...
before trying to enter the debugger, then emacs is stuck and I have
to kill it.
The performance issue has also been reported here:
https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/ido-completing-read-plus/issues/143
(probably wrong place to report it btw).

Don't know if/when I will find time to investigate.
But if anybody has suggestions where to look I'll do my best.

Regards,

Fabrice

Is there a bug report for that?  If not, please make one.

Same here, please make a bug report for it (and when Emacs is stuck,
please attach to it with GDB and show us the backtrace).

If you compiled it yourself, please show the configuration switches
and the compilation options.

FWIW, I see no slowdown in ido-mode in 26.1 RC1 relative to 25.2.
