GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 4485
Slowlyness with GtkText
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Package: gtk+ Version: 1.2.6 GtkText gets really slowly sometimes. This is independent of Gtk Theme. It happens with: * default theme * pixmap theme * ThinIce theme And this is independent of Window manager too. I saw it happes with: * Enlightenment DR 0.15, DR 0.16 * Window Maker * IceWM * KDE (KWM) 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.2, 2.0 (KRASH) * Blackbox It does not depend on CPU or memory. This happened to: * 486 DX2 66MHz 12 MB * Athlon 600MHz 512MB * PII 300MHz 128 MB This has happen to: * gnotepad+ * Gedit * GXedit * and few apps I wrote. It does not happen everytime. However when it happens, every keystroke gets the CPU to 100%. Making it unusuble. IMHO I think it might be related to the way the apps use GtkText. And the way GtkText handles the keystrokes. I am using Conectiva Linux 4.0 (RH6.0 clone). Glibc 2.1.1 libstdc++ 2.9.0 X => XFree86 3.3.5 (has happen since 3.3.2) SVGA Server Good luck, Raul Dias ------- Bug moved to this database by debbugs-export@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-01-27 14:47 ------- This bug was previously known as bug 4485 at http://bugs.gnome.org/ http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4485 Originally filed under the gtk+ product and general component.

Can you maybe get the app in a debugger, and try to hit ctrl-C a few times during the slowness and see where in gtktext.c the program is spending its time?

Any new info here?
Hi thanks for the bug report. I'm closing this bug because it has been open for too long with no response. If you feel that this is still a problem feel free to re-open this bug or open a new one, however I would encourage you to upgrade to the latest stable software first.
