Editor freezes after 30-60 seconds. Can't do anything.

[Zaanzabar]

Tested versions

Has only been happening today, since 4.3 was rolled out.

System information

Windows 10, Godot 4.3

Issue description

I open Godot 4.3, select my project and load in. I notice hesitation of about 2-3 seconds when showing tool tips, then they seem to recover. Also happens with the drop down menus. After 30-60 seconds each and every time, the entire editor freezes. The little spinning circle in the upper right stops too. If you click a couple times, the window turns white, and the "Close Window" dialog from windows pops up. I am not able to do anything meaningful if I have to restart every 60 seconds.

I used Steam to validate the files, no errors.
I rebooted, but no fix
I tried running from a command prompt, but no errors were reported. However, the CMD window didn't return to the command prompt.

Steps to reproduce

Start session, load project, do something to interact with the UI. Click dropdown menus, hover over things that generate tooltips, or mess with the new window arrangement settings. Any of those will trigger it. If you leave the editor alone, it doesn't freeze, but do anything, and bam

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

Started new project, happened before I could do Anything. I recorded a video, it was 16 seconds long. but that was too big to upload

[Zaanzabar]

Just to be complete, I have also had similar issues in 4.2. If I mess with editor colors, or editor settings, after a few changes it would freeze in the same way

Have you tried deleting/moving away your editor settings?

[Zaanzabar]

no, how and where would i find this?

[Zireael07]

See Editor data paths here https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/io/data_paths.html

[Zaanzabar]

All right, I found the editor settings folder. I renamed the folder, and ran Godot. A new folder was generated as expected. Issue persists

[Zireael07]

Huh. That rules out something in editor settings being the cause (which was my suspicion as you mentioned the issue only happens after messing with settings)

[Zaanzabar]

I'm currently performing a complete backup, uninstall, delete folders, restart, reinstall.

and it's not just settings, any popups. Currently on empty project, I am using the drop down menus on the top left (Scene, project, etc)

[Zaanzabar]

Full reinstall, multiple times, deleting all folders. no luck, still does it

[Zaanzabar]

changed back to 4.2.2 and everything works great. even restored my project and settings folders

[guoj1200]

I also have the same symptom and problem. The console keeps saying generating new theme and at the same time the editor freezes.

[4ntim4tter]

I am getting the same problem, keeps regenerating new fonts and styles, freezes up while doing so.

[guoj1200]

This seems to be already fixed here, #95575 .
How do I apply the fix?

[Calinou]

Thanks for the report! Consolidating in #95575.

How do I apply the fix?

You can upgrade to 4.4.dev1 right now if you're OK with using a development build, or wait for 4.3.1 to be released.

If you can compile from source, you could also apply the pull request that fixed the issue directly to the 4.3 source code. Run this in a Bash command prompt (e.g. Git Bash on Windows):

git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git --branch=4.3
curl -L https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/95849.patch | git apply

Then compile using SCons as usual.
