IDE screen increasingly febrile and unusable

Since the last couple of releases, the IDE has become increasingly febrile.
If constantly drops tabs or doesn’t show the menu at random intervals. It also doesnt properly go the the deploy screen (Known problem I think)
The only way to get it back seems to be to reload the project. This becomes very tiresome and means you have to reload any apps you were working on.

I’ve lost hours/days of work over the last few weeks
