OneNote lagging while typing
OneNote for Mac has become really slow and lagging while I try to type notes on lecture slides. I normally import a PDF on a page and write notes over it, but it cannot keep up with even short bursts...

I had the same problem, running on Windows 10. I realized the problem started when I turned the "text cursor indicator" on. This is a setting in Windows 10 (Settings >> Ease of Access >> Text Cursor) that makes the text cursor much more prominent. I turned it off and OneNote stopped lagging. I assume there is a similar setting for Macs.

Here years later, still an issue. Problem is I kind of need that cursor turned on. Doesn't look like it's going to be fixed any time soon. Literally each key press was taking about 5-10 seconds. Thanks for the tip.
