If I try to select any text (with double click or by dragging the mouse cursor) in the BTT's release notes window:

there's a noticeable lag as you can see in the recording below. This only happens in that window. If I open the release notes in the [community thread](https://community.folivora.ai/t/development-overview-thread/42667) - no such issue. I've tried with other long files:  
[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/aws-cli/refs/heads/develop/CHANGELOG.rst](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/aws-cli/refs/heads/develop/CHANGELOG.rst)  
[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/v0.9.11/deploy/crds/bundle.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/v0.9.11/deploy/crds/bundle.yaml)  
opened in MS Edge or Firefox but wasn't able to reproduce the issue.

If I **disable** BTT for all apps, issue **stops immediately** (no need to restart BTT nor to close the window).  
I've checked and **no trigger** is being triggered during the text selection, despite the fact that I have the `TextSelectionMenu` CAG enabled, which would have be similar to [Text Selection menu cause spinning ball on MS Edge + copy to clipboard](https://community.folivora.ai/t/text-selection-menu-cause-spinning-ball-on-ms-edge-copy-to-clipboard/46691)

In the recording you can see the ActivityMonitor window behind the BTT window, but I cannot see any obvious spikes during the text select.

I've also noticed a lag when switching between any other window and BTT's release notes window, but only when clicking the text area of this window - meaning that the issue doesn't happen if I switch/activate the window when clicking the non-text area (e.g. title bar)

BTT: 6.629  
macOS: 26.5.2 25F84

Thanks for reporting, I'll have a look. That webview is pretty special because of the integration with the sparkle updater. I have been thinking about switching to a native markdown renderer anways, maybe I'll do that soon.
