I have noticed this bug. I have a 5MB document with very long lines. Each line is approximately a million characters wide. If you view it with word wrap OFF then the computer becomes very unresponsive. Scrolling the scrollbars particularly hangs the computer for a long time. I'm on gedit

Thanks. I've raised these upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624470 I've removed point 2 as you say it's fixed already. It is a real shame scientific mode is being removed :( More useful than the financial functions for me. Thanks. Mike. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug

Thanks Marcel. Yes it looks like this is a duplicate of the bug you cite (347089). It's good that it got the right answer in the end! However it would be better if there was a way to escape to cancel the long calculation, and the window redrawing did not stall during the calculation. -- ln

There is not much issue now. The title of this bug is totally wrong - you are right, I didn't realise that it actually was opening on the first time and becoming a notification icon. Sorry about that. The only issue is the message which occurs when you type rhythmbox at the command line: **
