This explodes on Gedit any time I try to edit a file with sudo under the /etc/ directory. The entire computer freezes as CPU load average hits over 4.
gedit --version 3.28.1 uname -a Linux _ 4.10.0-041000-generic #201702191831 SMP Sun Feb 19 23:33:19 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux simple way to reproduce: sudo gedit /etc/hosts enjoy your computer freezing. To the point even htop can't update except once every 10 seconds. (Note: My hosts file is almost default and maybe 20 lines long including comments. This is NOT a big file.) ibus-x11 and ibus/ui-gtk3 both go wide open with CPU usage. After ~5 minutes, if you leave it alone, Gedit will then explode and all text turns into squares (ala font glyph not found). Soon after that, it'll crash, and Ubuntu will say "system program problem detected". In the terminal window, I got the following output upon crash: sudo gedit /etc/hosts (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.739: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 11' (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.748: font_face status is: out of memory (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.748: scaled_font status is: out of memory (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.748: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='PangoFcShapeEngine', font='DejaVu Sans 11', text='●' (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.763: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans Bold 11' (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.763: font_face status is: out of memory (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.763: scaled_font status is: out of memory (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.763: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='PangoFcShapeEngine', font='DejaVu Sans Bold 11', text='hosts' (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.768: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans 9.1669921875' (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.772: font_face status is: <unknown error status> (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.772: scaled_font status is: out of memory (gedit:5521): Pango-WARNING **: 00:28:01.772: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='PangoFcShapeEngine', font='DejaVu Sans 9.1669921875', text='/etc' Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file (gedit:5521): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:29:07.962: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.

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.
