Additional Information

This is a known performance limitation of the rich text box used for a Text element when handling a large number of paragraphs. Each time the Enter or Return are pressed, a new paragraph is added. In this instance, the element contains 100+ hyperlinks all wrapped in individual paragraphs which is why things begin to slow down when trying to create more. This issue is specific to editing a very large Text element and does not impact the ability to click on or use a link in a pop-up.

Workaround

Divide the links into smaller groups, each in their own Text element.
