Title: gedit consumes 100% processor with paragraphs > 10 lines. Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit There is a problem with gedit (or maybe even the gtksourcebuffer widget) when editing long lines with syntax highlighting. Ive seen bug #134352, and it seems to be similar to what I am reporting here, but I am creating a new bug report since in the original report the problem seems to be minor since only long one- liner html files seem to be the issue. However, this bug appears even when doing a short document (for example your homework) on Latex, and writing a small paragraph (less than 10 lines) without using line breaks. To reproduce, create a new latex file and open it in gedit, make sure gedit correctly detects it as latex file and it is doing syntax highlighting on it. Now start typing gibberish (ie. asdf asdf asdf asdf asdfasdf asdf), as your paragraph continues and the buffer starts to break your line into several lines, you will notice how the processor consumption will start going up, by the time you reach 10 break lines or so (at least on my machine) the processor will reach 100% usage. I think this bug is pretty serious, since having a 10line paragraph seems a pretty common use case for a text editor.
