writing text to a textarea causes a js lock
-
I went through about 10 plugins thoroughly and found that with this plugin enabled, I was getting 30 – 60 second complete javascript locks, upon trying to write a large value into a textarea with javascript.
Does it do some processing in a callback to field changes? That’s what it seemed like. My use case here is a little bit unorthodox, but I had to disable the plugin to continue with the site. I couldn’t figure out what exactly it was doing in that 60 second hang.
The value I was writing was very large, a stringified image blob, but it completed in 1-2 seconds on 2 other sites.

sure thanks. It’s in a Woocommerce product page field. I’m allowing user to customize an image, and then I stringify the image dataURL into a textarea in the product description (or maybe “short description”) set up with Woocommerce Custom Checkout Fields.
I have the same setup on my localhost (without the plugin) and it completes near instantly. And in toggling the plugin on / off on the live site it did seem to resolve problem. It hangs long enough to throw a couple “this page is frozen, would you like to exit this page” prompts.
