did you disable themes and third party plugins before submitting the report??
It’s also possible that this is due to the old ipad (and relative old webkit). If this is the case there’s nothing we can do about it.
Disabling themes and community plugins doesn’t help.
Thus I will have to live with that. I can still work by creating a new file. I just wanted to the bug been known as I found several complaints about slow sync in this forum, which in fact might be this issue.
