I can confirm this bug on 11.10, nvidia quadro NVS 140M, nvidia driver 280.13. Scrolling any file maxes out 1 CPU and makes the editor freeze, rendering gedit unusable. Other editors like geany are not affected.
Sorry, I can't report on the situation with proprietary drivers disabled; I'm happy I have a fairly working graphics configuration, don't want to risk breaking it. -- 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/891482 Title: GEdit load CPU huge when scrolling Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I opened not big HTML file in gedit (18Kb, 242 lines).
