When I hit CMD+Space there is a ~2-3 second delay before the input box appears, this only seems to happen after inactivity, so I can only replicate it after not using Alfred for a while.
version: 5.5 [2257]
macOS: 14.5 (23F79)
hotkey: CMD+Space (Spotlight is set to something else, not sure what, I don't use it)
Settings are pretty much the defaults, I do have a directory ~/code with a lot of git repos, but I have that in the Spotlight privacy, so it should be ignored.
I have diagnostics, but I wasn't sure if it's "safe" to attach those here 🙂
