Regression: typing fast in Find with "Im" is missing chars

[pintassilgo]

I just tried to search a word in a 260k chars markdown file and noticed many letters weren't typed in Find input.

The word is "mousepad" and due to my speed typing only "muepad" was typed in find input. Results vary if I try many times, but always with missing chars, like "muepd" and "muspd". I need to type slowly to get the entire word to be printed in the input.

If I disable Im, the issue disappears. Hi is not related, because the issue is reproducible even with Hi disabled.

This is a regression, because until previous version I already used find-as-you-type through the previous implementation tied with Hi and never had such issue.

For some reason, new Im implementation is not efficient and is hanging typing in Find input for those who type not so slowly in a not so small file (but 260k isn't a big file, there shouldn't be any issue).

confirmed. thanks for report.
tried to fix it using timer:

w/o timer? we need to know total document size (not only line count) which is hard/slow to get.

Fixed the typing issue, thanks, but the timer causes very bad user experience in my opinion. Previous release didn't have this issue neither the timer when I was editing the same file, so surely it's possible to fix.

Fast suggestion: Im could reuse Hi limits (find_hi_max_lines and find_hi_max_line_len), and timer would only be used when document exceeds these limits.

I added check for document size (doc_size = opt "find_hi_max_lines" * 50) which removes timer usage. but still I had missing chars. even in 1K size document.

need to dig this more.

yet I released the bugfix update 1.213.0.1 with the last 'timer' change.

[Alexey-T]

Yet I don't see the way to fix it without using timer. As I said the missing chars are observed even in 1.5K size document. if you are OK with it, pls close.

[pintassilgo]

Honestly, I'm not, the timer is very bad and shouldn't be used unless file is very big. The fact is: until previous version, I had find-as-you-type working perfectly without the timer. So we can say for sure the proper fix exists, it's doable. But unfortunately I can't help except by reporting and testing.

[Alexey-T]

Ok, I got the idea. Need to find the reason.
Yet you can use "find_hi_timer_interval" to decrease the pause.
