Verification option (F8) very very slow in Studio 2019

Question

Each time I try running the F8 verification option on a signle file (even a very short file of about 10 segments), the operation takes ages. 
 Even cancelling it (because too time-consuming) takes ages. 
 Is there a Reason for this? maybe a setting ?

Hello Coralie Mergault 
 I think if this was a direct Studio issue, we would be seeing many more similar reports. 
 Therefore I think the culprit is maybe an installed app such as MS Grammar Checker. 
 Try disabling the app under project settings- Verification 
 
 and now rerun the verification process. 
 Does this now work for you?

Hi Angelo Caltagirone 
 
I think we have discussed the grammar checker before. There is no API for this feature in Microsoft so the app is a bit of a hack and it's susceptible to all kinds of problems and things that could go wrong. We have tried very hard to replicate issues reported, setting up environments to match the operating systems, languages, versions of office, installed language packs, versions of Studio etc. but we are simply unable to find the cause of the problems. For some users it inexplicably seems to work... for others it does not. 
 
I have said before I am inclined to simply remove this from the appstore altogether because I don't think there is a strong platform for developing it and too many things that seem to prevent it from working. I only left it there for the users who seem to be able to get some value from it. Although it seems to work for me the results are nowhere near as good as they were the first time we created it, and when I run my test document through Microsoft Word itself the reults are similarly very poor, although still different to the results I get in Studio. 
 
Altogether a very inconsistent and puzzling feature in Word!

Unknown said: My question is, if it isa possible to revert the app to the 1.3 version, where this behavior is missing, and update it for 2019. I have still the 1.3 version installed on Studio 2017 and I do not have this problem. 
 Angelo Caltagirone 
 This would be a pointless exercise. We got to the new versions by making these changes only: 
 2017 -> all we did was add the maxversion attribute to the 1.3 version to prevent it from being installed into 2019. It won't work at all in 2019. 
 2019 -> all we did was update the 1.3 version so it works in 2019 
 So you are effectively asking us to do what we have already done!
