24

Happened a few times in the past 1-2 days.
Websites that have login forms or other data entry fields seem to make the whole Orion freeze.
I can click into the field and manually type characters. I can't CMD+V or right-click to paste anything. The blinking cursor is missing.
Whenever this happens, Orion becomes slow and then I need to force kill and restart it.
As an example I am attaching this Allianz login website.
FYl i have the 1Password extension installed.

I am on MacOS 15.0 Public Beta.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Blinking cursor, can paste data into fields, Orion not freezing

0.99.128.1.1-beta

Sonoma (14)

    ReneB Can you provide steps to reproduce from a new clean orion profile?

        Merged 3 posts from Orion freezes (becomes unresponsive) after cursor disappears in web form data-entry fields.

          Vlad, latest update solved the issue of Syncthing UI and Synology UI issues/freezes 🙂

            Spoke too soon. this is so bad. the cursor disappears most of the time which I believe is the cause of this freeze bug. most websites, you cant see the text cursor like this box

              rightsaidfred can you please let us know if Orion is still freezing and becoming non-responsive with the latest release? I suspect there are more then one specific issues, so we want to tackle them one-by-one, as that will make it easier to debug and fix those.

                  dino I don't have any issue anymore on the latest updated Orion-beta!
                  Seems much more stable!

                    not only macos 15 I guess, I see the same on Sonoma...
                    I really wanna love Orion, even subscribed to it, but it feels kind of unusable as of now unfortunately

                      Murko I am getting zero freezes, so the way to go about it is to produce steps to reproduce the problem from a new clean orion profile so we can find out what the issue is in your case - likely settings, extensions etc.

                          Vlad I found today that I may have too many tabs on a “tab window”, it makes Orion slow down a ton in here (although I imported that same tab group from safari where it runs pretty fine with all 98 tabs open.
                          Another thing I found is that low power mode really drags the whole performance of the browser to its knees, I disabled it

                              From my side, I confirm that the latest versions seem not to freeze anymore.

                                Happening to me lots on Youtube, usually with a few Youtube tabs open. Refresh solves it.

                                  I'm seeing regular crashes of Orion 0.99.128.2.1-beta on macOS 15.0 Developer Beta. Compatibility mode does not help. I use Orion mainly for CAD (cad.onshape.com) and Orion (orionfeedback.org). I had no crashes for 6 months using Onshape in Orion under previous (non beta) macOS versions. Is there debug information I can post after a crash to help debug?

                                  Update: also crashes when just browsing orionfeedback.org (often crashes in the background, when the Orion window is not active).

                                    Recently, I treat “blinking cursor gone” or any text field “keyboard entry problems” as “time to close all tabs and restart Orion”.
                                    The sporadic freezing still sometimes happens on the latest beta versions (not using RC). MacOS 18 latest public beta.

                                      Apart from that, it's no longer a problem for me. The stable version of Orion is now ... stable 🙂

                                        Just to clarify. Meaning you -do- have the issue i described yesterday or not?
                                        As you write "apart from that".

                                            dino I went back to Version 0.99.128.2.1-beta (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2) and no issues. Well, the major one I see is BW extension doesn't interact with Orion but no freezes to report as of this post. On an M1 with 14.6.1

                                              ReneB sorry .. translation.

                                              I meant to write: I don't have these problems at all anymore.
                                              But in the meantime I updated Sonoma to the latest update and Orion crashed 3 times in a row -_-

                                              Version 0.99.128.2.1-beta (WebKit 619.1.11.111.2)
