    I can confirm that a fix for this issue is now live in our most up to date stable build, 235.4.5905.

It would be great to get a fix soon. I literally cannot use Dropbox on my M4 laptop because I experience huge slowdowns on open / save dialogs whenever it's running. It's night and day. If Dropbox is running = huge lag. No Dropbox = fast.
