I meant "repetition"... (And I forgot to mention that the computer is configured to use faster repetition rate then the default, but nothing extreme.) > rate of the keyboard. [snip] And the same problem occurs even if I just move left or right with the caret inside the *same* line. If the on-the-fly spell checking is off, moving the caret continually within the same line causes like 5% CPU usage (with rare spikes of 30%). But if I turn on-the-fly spell checking on, moving the cursor on the same way will *continually* eat 100% CPU time, i.e. the CPU can't keep pace, so the caret movement will be slower and it will continue movement after releasing the arrow key. Quite inconvenient, but most importantly, quite strange; why is it so CPU intensive to move the cursor? I don't even modify the line or cause new lines to show, so what is it working on so hard? Must be a bug. -- Best regards, Daniel Dekany
