Package: gimp Version: 2.2.13-1 Severity: normal Over time, I find that it takes file dialogs longer and longer to show. This is true even using just one directory and not adding any new files to it. It's also true whether or not it's displaying the file list, and whether one is opening or closing files.
The slowdown is quite non-linear: initially the dialog preparation time is imperceptible, increasing to a few seconds. Eventually it takes several minutes at 100% CPU. Last week, trying to save all my work, it took an hour for the first file; I gave up waiting for the second one after 3½ days of processor time. And it's not a slow machine: /-------- | x86info v1.18.
