Code::Blocks IDE very slow when starting to search text in a source file

[rudolf128]

I wrote some programs in ANSI C. Their source codes are medium sized (about 75KB).
When starting a search for a word, the window used to enter the searched word(s) takes a very long time (5 or so seconds) to appear. After that, the time to get the results is acceptable.
This was not so when I installed CodeBlocks some months ago. The problem developed recently.
Any ideas?

I suggest turning off all the plugins you do NOT use and see if it improves.
The Code Completion used to be a source of major slow down; no idea if its been fixed or not.

Report the OS and CB version info.

if you are searching in a file, you can also try to use incremental search, in the toolbar...
