I'm having great difficulty persuading the newest TextMate 2 to load the whole of my file when I open it. Actions like scrolling or global find result in long delays or large apparently blank areas. It would be nice if when I say "open this file" TextMate 2 would well and truly just _open_ it. m.

I can assure you that there is no code to only partially load a file.

Is there anything special about these files? For example special encoding, special anatomy like database dumps or XML documents on one single multi-megabyte line? Prose, markup, or code files?

If there are “blank areas” is it something you can screen capture? That might help understand what the underlying issue is.
