[GH #1995] Performance Issue with Handsontable v14.4.0 on initial render

Hi
During the initial render phase, we encountered a significant performance issue with Handsontable v14.4.0. When our table, containing 446 rows and 134 columns, is loaded, the application freezes for a few seconds. This issue prevents any user interaction with the table immediately after it is rendered (such as horizontal scrolling, focusing/editing a cell, etc.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the application URL.
  2. Observe the table loading process.
  3. Note that the table becomes frozen for a few seconds immediately after it is rendered

In addition, we have tested with the same configuration on handsontable v14.1.0(which we have just upgraded from) and the issue does not appear to manifest.

As an existing customer, this issue impacts our live product environment and user experience. We would greatly appreciate your help in resolving this matter.

Thank you

Hi @siddhantjain15298

Thank you for contacting us, and reporting this issue. I checked it, and it is a regression to version 14.2.0, where we did some changes within the Formulas plugin. I reported the issue internally for further investigation and will update you once it’s fixed.

PS. Can you please share your company’s name with me? You can send it via DM, it will help to categorize the issue. Thank you.

Hi @siddhantjain15298

This issue wasn’t fixed in v14.6. We made some pre-checks, but it was too complex to finish before the release. It is a high priority; however, it may take a while to fix. We will surely keep you updated.

ps. here https://handsontable.com/docs/javascript-data-grid/changelog/ you can read more about the changes and fixes made in v14.6.0

Hi @blake.gilchrist

This issue is added to the milestone to-do list. But Themes are number one priority for us now and they are not ready yet. Only after we finish that project, will we be able to move to another task.
