Gedit started using excessive CPU Only since I upgraded to Trusty, 14.04. I am using LUBUNTU but use Gedit,and i have use it for years on Lububtu,with no problem, but now, the CPU runs away, but If I hit Ctrl + S or save it calms down, I am on an older Dell GX280 and when I edit in Gedit the fan begins to go really fast, as soon as I type or paste a character or line, but as soon as I save it, the CPU usage slows down to at least better , right now it is using about 12% CPU , but, I can close Gedit and it drops to 0 to 1 % CPU usage, on average. I was using Gedit on 13.10 with NO problems until I upgraded this box to Trusty.
I hope this is the right place to comment, if not, please delete this (admins). I will keep searching to see if anyone else has had a similar experience since upgrading to 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367372 Title: Gedit uses 100% of the CPU while editing files Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: New Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gedit Making changes to a file(typing or deleting characters) makes gedit consume 100% of the CPU power available. I noticed this since I've installed Ubuntu 9.04. I was poking in the fonts setting under the appearance preferences and I thought I noticed a slight difference if I turn off all processing and make the font glyph render without subpixel rendering and hinting. However it is merely marginal. To make sure it was not the graphics drivers I switched from the ati drivers to vesa but that did not help at all.
