And they ignored my very easy question. It’s really insulting 
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the late response. I was following up on a few of the questions before responding.
Thank you very much to everyone who reported this issue to us directly. Unfortunately we do not have a clear ETA for when a patch to the current issue will be released. As previously mentioned, this has been an ongoing issue that took us a while to investigate. Finding and verifying these instructions also took time, because we had to make sure all the technical details were correct.
We agree this needs to be fixed, but have been unable to push out a fix as fast as we have for other issues in the past since this one will require heavy engineering efforts. Our team will definitely continue communicating important updates on this issue to our developers in a similar fashion as this thread. We hope this has answered all of your concerns. If not, please feel free to ask and I will follow up with you.
If you know anyone experiencing this issue, please let us know so we can keep track of those impacted.
Thanks,
Developer Relations Team
I can understand that the engineers have a lot on their plate, although I do agree that this is indeed frustrating. I hope that they move this problem up on their que, since it’s one of the more development prohibiting issues.
It’s been a year
I know, that’s what worries me the most about this. Have a feeling it will be resolved soon though (hoping it will at least).
I don’t know what more you could expect. As mentioned in the latest staff response, the problem is the magnitude of the issue – not the effort put into it. The problem isn’t going to get any easier to solve the more inconveniencing it gets. In the meantime, you have a perfectly fine workaround – take advantage of it.

Kind of a late response, but I’ve been dealing with this ever since I got my iMac. I’ve found that if you resize your Studio window and make it smaller it will fix this issue. Then when you’re done typing your code and want to go back to building or whatever you can make your window larger again.
Interesting I will try this out (I also have an iMac).
p.s. I like your ironic name 
Yes, I currently use the color profile method. Although it is quite inconvenient, you do what you’ve got to do.
Will buying Windows 10 fix this?
this isn’t just lagging script editor, it’s also lagging the entire studio.
i can’t run an empty baseplate without getting MASSIVE amounts of lag, and this has ever been since I upgraded to sierra.
Thank you all for patiently waiting.
Please rest assured, Roblox staff are actively looking into this issue and once we have more information someone will post here with all the details.

Yay, I can actually have SRGB settings enabled again; yet there is still the test server initial run issue on macOS, which I guess I will make a thread about soon if no one has been notified of it yet.
Do you press Test and just nothing happens? Like it opens a new window, wait, then it just shuts again? I haven’t tested the patch yet, I’ll edit when I do.
Also, @Silent137 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Yes, instead it opens and does not connect to the test server, and I have to go into the activity monitor and manually quit it in order for it to run properly. Also, if I don’t quit the failed to open test window then all other test windows thereafter will cease to work.
This is especially annoying since I am constantly testing a multi-player game.
p.s. Does this issue occur randomly and frequently for you as it does for me?
We’re aware of the issue with Start Server/Player and it’s next on our list of High Sierra issues.

This is happening on macOS Sierra too though, specifically 10.12.6 on a 2017 5k iMac.
Looks like the laggy script editor is back on Mac since the last studio update. Any one else experiencing it?
