Hi! Sadly I have to reopen this bug, because it's occuring to me, still in 2020.
And honestly, it's properly ubuesque that a very basic text editor suffers such a crippling bug as soon as you open more than 4-5 files, even basic ones (like, less than 10Kb ones). At least we're under Linux so it doesn't freeze the entire system, but you have absolutely no other way than force kill the process and lose all unsaved data. I usually don't complain/rant when encountering bugs because I know that it's software freely distributed and maintained on goodwill of a small group of people. But this is "Microsoft-like" quality (and that's as far of a compliment as any word may go). I lost some precious piece of information, because on top of that,there is no backup mechanism (FIY even Kate has one) nor autosave. Sorry to be harsh but I'm amazed that this program can be bundled as the default text editor for XFCE when it's simply not reliable at all. Not sure what info you'd need so, besidess the list of what's currently installed related to mousepad (end of comment) I'll be happy to follow instructions to provide as much information as I can to help diagnose and fix this issue. NOTE : currently using Mousepad 0.4.0-3ubuntu1. My first instinct was to update software, but I'm in a restricted infrastructure with central authority holding updates, and the don't have any update available. Not sure I could get habilitation to manually install a package either if there is actually a more recent version generally available. Same with the socle: we are, to my great displeasure, stuck on a 16.04-2 Ubuntu (yeah, massive administration = massive inertia...) So maybe this comes from the fact librairies are not up to what you expect either... ------------- LIST OF CURRENTLY INSTALLED PACKAGES (mousepad and direct dependencies) Gotten from following command (there is certainly a simpler method, but couldn't find relevant option with apt-cache or aptitude) -- aptitude show $(apt-cache depends --installed mousepad | cut -d: -f2) | grep -B 4 'Version' -- Paquet : mousepad État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Version : 0.4.0-3ubuntu1 -- Paquet : libc6 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 2.23-0ubuntu9 -- Paquet : libdbus-1-3 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 1.10.6-1ubuntu3.3 -- Paquet : libdbus-glib-1-2 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 0.106-1 -- Paquet : libglib2.0-0 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 2.48.2-0ubuntu1 -- Paquet : libgtk-3-0 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3 -- Paquet : libgtksourceview-3.0-1 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 3.18.2-1 -- Paquet : libpango-1.0-0 État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 1.38.1-1 -- Paquet : dconf-gsettings-backend État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 0.24.0-2 -- Paquet : dconf-gsettings-backend État: installé Automatiquement installé: non Multiarchitecture : même Version : 0.24.0-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765157 Title: mousepad goes to 100% CPU, freezes, fills all memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mousepad/+bug/1765157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
