I am not quite certain if that’s realted but for me it falls into the “performance” category. In two other posts I noticed that Knime becomes quite unstable in the presence of a binary object column. I then noticed it is not exclusive to binary objects as well.
Node configuration opens with about 30 sec. delay or sometimes doesn’t open et all. Output preview upon sort throws an error, scrolling to the binary column freezes the preview not even enabling to close it.
I belive it might be realted to this as the performance regression becomes quite descerable under the described circumstances. Maybe this help tracking down the percevied regression here too?
