Title:
yelp steals focus, cannot be killed, hogs system
Status in “yelp” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When opened from certain applications (eg grsync and terminal) but not others
(eg nautilus and gedit), the yelp window stays empty, steals focus (forces
itself on forground) and cannot be force killed.
The system becomes unusable, although everything seems to continue working.
CPU load increases dramatically, Xorg is the main culprit
Only solution to get control back over the system is a Alt-SysRq-REISUB
reboot.
Nothing relevant in .xsession-errors; i have no idea where to look or what to
look for in other logs
Should i file a bug? Yelp? Xorg?
Anyone else with this problem?
Please help...
Here's a video showing what the problem is:

I'll be happy to provide log entries, upon request.
I can't gdb backtrace since yelp started from terminal without arguments
works flawlessly.
