Advanced Editor skipping keys

My Advanced Editor does not register all my keystrokes. In the gif below, you can see me typing "Table.Count" but it ends up as "Tabl.Cont". How can I fix this?

I'm having the same issue. With very long power query statements like the one below, sometimes I have to wait up to one second until the typed character appears.

It appears to me that the syntax checker implementation is (really) bad. Even completely correct syntax is highlighted as bad in some areas of the code for up to 5 seconds. After that, the red underline will disappear , the green check mark reappears and "No syntax errors have been detected".

 

I have observed this behaviour on previous versions of Power BI Desktop, also the latest current one:

Can it be caused by the input setting, try set to simple us english.  Or install another new input app.

@BlobBlobHopHop , I doubt I faced an issue like that. can share the version, make sure you are on the latest version and no windows patch pending

I do have the latest version ( 2.93.981.0 64-bit (May 2021)) and I have been having this issue for several months and several versions. And I am also keeping my Windows up to date.
