Extreme Lag When Using Anything With "Insert Topic Reference" Window

Hello, Oxygen v27.1 and v28 are now both experiencing tremendous lag when I am trying to navigate files with features like the Append Child "Insert Topic Reference" window. The file browser window in Oxygen will open, but when I browse the files, it lags 15- 30 seconds per click before navigating to the next level of search (or when clicking into folders etc.). Not only does it lag when something is clicked, it freezes the entire program and I am unable to do anything during this time. This has added a tremendous amount of time to my workflow...
I have experienced this with no other files open in the editor area in Oxygen, and have tried to re-install the software to no avail.
My files are saved locally on my laptop, so this isn't a connectivity issue.
I am using a Dell Precision 5690 with an NVIDIA RTX 2000, so I don't think this is a hardware performance issue. I do not experience this type of lag on any other program I'm using.

Hi,
When you have dialogs in Oxygen that use file choosers inside them like the "Insert Topic Reference" dialog, they experience lags in general if you have on your Desktop or My Documents folders links to network resources which are no longer available. So please check for such broken folder links to network resources and delete them.
Regards,
Radu

I'm experiencing the exact same lag in v28! The file browser freezing for 15+ seconds makes basic navigation impossible. Have you found any workaround yet? This is killing my productivity.

Hi,
Can you use the Oxygen main menu Help=>"Report problem" to fill your problem details, email and send us a report? We can then start an email discussion about this. The problem report will contain various installation details which may be useful to us.
