Scene View Navigation Delays

Scene/Game View

-

When moving around the scene view with WASD and mouse controls, the view will occasionally stop moving regardless of the current keyboard input.

Reproduction Steps:
1. Open any project or scene
2. In the Scene View hold down right mouse button to begin navigating
3. Without moving the mouse, alternate holding A and D to pan the camera
4. Occasionally the view will stop moving, usually when changing directions (see the attached GIF below)

    I have noticed this since 5.2 as well. I had hoped that it would be gone with 5.3, but it's still there. I'm downgrading to 5.1 again.

    I have this issue, too. Just showed up for me in 5.2.3f1. It's really making working in the editor difficult. Highly considering going back a version for the time being.

    Definitely makes a difference, I appreciate the comment.

    Found part of the reason for me. Just below your #Scene tab in the editor you can select shaded, 2D etc. On the little picture icon to the right you can toggle fog flares skybox and animated materials. Animated materials seems to be causing the WASD lag. Try toggling it. Turning it on greatly improves my FPS.

    On my pc, the delay is constant and makes working in the scene view a nightmare if you are not moving the mouse.

    I had this issue since 5.1 too and it's killing any fluid level designing.
    It seems like the scene view is only updated when the mouse is moved instead of constantly to save processing power?
    Maybe it is working this way since the early days but somehow the keyboard-event-updating was lost somewhere between 5.0 and 5.1

    This issue makes the editor a incredibly annoying to work with, even in the simplest of scenes.

    Huge pain to deal with.

    I noticed it too after updating from 5.1 and it's getting on my nerves. The "workaround" i found for now is to always keep moving the mouse, at least a bit, to keep the scene view from freezing. :oP

    ...of course that's just learning how to live with a clear bug in the Editor, but at least makes my stress level slightly lower.
