Bug ID: 378603
Summary: Kate freezes when manipulating large text blocks
Product: kate
Version: 16.04.1
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: marek...@sziget.hu
Target Milestone: ---
When large text files are opened in Kate, it stops responding on the following
operations:
- Select all - Tools -> Uppercase / Lowercase
- Select 140000 lines - File -> New, Edit -> Paste
The system reports the process to be continuously running and using about 100%
CPU and varying amounts of memory but it never completes the operation.
Obviously, I did not wait _forever_ so "never" is not an accurate description
but in previous versions of KDE the exact same or very similar operations
completed within a manner of seconds whereas in this version I had to kill the
process after 10 minutes or so. This happened several times.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open any text file of size 9 MiB or larger.
2) Select all text.
3) Select the Tools menu and the Lowercase command.
OR
1) Open any text file of size 9 MiB or larger.
2) Select the first 140000 lines.
3) Open a new, empty document.
4) In the new document, paste the clipboard content.
Other notes:
The files I am experiencing this behaviour with (have not tried with other
files) do not have long lines. They actually have fixed column width of 32 and
several hundreds of thousand lines.
Attached is one file I could reproduce this bug.
