Problem Description
The new Construct 2 UI of r229 looks great in design but whenever I go to the eventsheet to add conditions/actions the loading of opening the dialogbox is very slow but in the r228 version the dialogbox shows instantly. Not only that r229 is sluggish in comparison but it also have a lot of dialog defects and it is shown in the video and images below.
Icon Mode Performance:
1)Cache unique icons: Unusable in the event sheet + sluggish in my pc.
2)Don't show unique icons: Usable in the eventsheet but sluggish.
3) Usable in the eventsheet but sluggish.
I also noticed that this only happens with big projects with a lot of objects unlike the templates or any small projects. I both tested the same project with r229 and r228 and it is very fast in r228 and very slow and buggy in r229. Here is the video of the comparison between the two with the same project: https://youtu.be/qTWMWqR7DMU
Here are the errors and weird things that happened with r229 that has never happened with r228:

Steps to Reproduce Bug
- Have a big project with a lot of objects open. (Spriter Projects also helps to reproduce this because of the object count it contains)
- Make sure to have events atleast 1000+ or 2000+.
- Set Icon Mode to "Cache unique icons".
- Click add event/click add action and you will notice it that the dialog will not show in an instant unlike r228.
- When the dialog shows, there are times that error dialog shows, dialog box empty, invisible dialog box but resizable / draggable, disappearance of events
dialog textbox missing or very small and displaced, disappearance of icons or crashing of Construct 2.
