@ Sebastien Bacher (seb128) wrote 4 hours ago: per post #31 Just simply using gimp on a decent sized image (12 megpaixels and above is all we work with) and it become unusable within 5 minutes. Nothing really specific, it just grinds to a halt, maxes out the memory and unity-panel-service will be spinning it's wheels @ 100%.
We are working around this for now by choosing Gnome at login (we've also tested in Cinnamon with no issues). The problem is 100% definitely Unity related, as there are no problems at all in Gnome or Cinnamon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

I killed it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was totally pegging out a CPU. I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while after that.
