Similar symptoms as above: frequently switching from gnome-terminal to Firefox causes gnome-terminal to scroll very slowly (takes one or two seconds to scroll a single line). Single monitor display, nVidia GeForce 8400, driver version: 304.43, Ubuntu 12.10 64bit.
Tried to figure out when and why that happens and here are some scenarios: - happens with every libvte based terminal - happens with xterm and rxvt-unicode if an xft font is used for display - does _not_ happen with xterm and rxvt-unicode if a bitmapped xorg core font is used - happens with every libvte based terminal if system wide font hinting is set to slight and font anti-aliasing is set to none (in this case fonts will look the same as a bitmapped xorg core font) As you can see, even if the system wide setting is set to look the same as a bitmapped font, it does behave differently in this case. Could this be related to some font rendering performance? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850649 Title: gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/850649/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
