Thanks for the reply! Not much has changed-- I really only run Firefox, GIMP, Inkscape, and Atom on this laptop. And Inkscape only gets used a couple times per week, and rarely at the same time as GIMP. Inkscape was not running when the GIMP problems started, but Firefox was. Firefox was running but not actively being utilized. I hadn't really used Firefox on this laptop for several days prior to the problems starting. I haven't installed or removed any programs. My usage of FF on this laptop is pretty limited, I mostly run class videos and related webpages on it. No videos were playing when the problems started. The problems started on Tuesday, and I hadn't run any videos on this laptop during the weekend, nor did I run any videos on Monday.
I don't think there's been any system updates, either. Inkscape was also having uncharacteristic problems over the weekend, before the GIMP problems started. Firefox is running as normal, no slowdowns. Right now I have FF and GIMP open. I'm mystified as to what the issue is, since this laptop has had no trouble running GIMP and FF concurrently until now. >What has changed on your computer system in the past few days?
