I spoke too soon.  It went back to pausing every few characters. As
suggested in the bug report I stopped using the proprietary Nvidia
drivers and reverted to nouveau and that really does seem to have fixed
it, we shall see.

The last round of updates I installed on Fedora 33 included an update
to webkit2gtk3-2.30.3.-1 - the pausing has now gone away. I presume
that update did it, does that sound likely. 

My desire to throw a keyboard at the monitor has been reduced a couple
of notches ...

Hi,
you can disable it with:

   $ GIGACAGE_ENABLED=0 evolution

I do not know whether the gigacage has any meaning for Evolution,
because Evolution has disabled execution of the "remote" (in a meaning
as "received in the email") JavaScript code. Evolution runs its own
JavaScript code only.
Bye,
Milan

That certainly seems to describe the issue. Hopefully it can be

I'm not one for using HTML either (unless I REALLY have to). It's only
in the composer that I'm seeing it. I suspect that WebKit is doing
something in the background, and I wish it would stop it.

So it's not me going mad! But this is plain text composing and I've
only noticed it since upgrading to F33 and 3.38.1

Err, OK. It just looks odd when I have 5 or 6 processes all taking
nearly 100Gb of virtual memory:

Using F33 with KDE here. I haven't seen this, but I never compose mail
in HTML so maybe there's a connection. In the past, lagginess has
sometimes been associated with Evo looking up online contact info when
filling in addresses.

Yes I've seen Evolution do that lag thing many times. Whatever goes on 
inside the HTML composer is not well done.


The virtual memory use is part of WebKit and is called Gigacages. It 
allocates huge zones of memory around compiled Javascript so that even 
if some bug allowed direct memory accesses, it isn't mathematically 
possible for it to reach sensitive data.

[Evolution] Evo 3.38.1 composer pauses

2020-11-17 Thread Pete Biggs
Hi -

Just upgraded to Fedora 33 and so have 3.38.1 and this is really a "is
it me or you" type question.

When composing an email the composer will stop responding for a second
or two every now and then.  It manifests it self as being laggy when
typing, so a character doesn't appear immediately. Not really a
problem, but I almost always press the delayed key again so I get
double characters when it catches up.  It's just annoying.

Does anyone else see this? My system is not overloaded, there's nothing
taking lots of CPU or IO.  However evolution and various WebKit
processes are each taking about 80-100Gb of virtual memory. Is this
normal? (Resident memory is within normal ranges.)
