Bug ID: 365622 Summary: konsole uses 100% cpu since the upgrade of freetype to 2.6.5 Product: konsole Version: 16.04.2 Platform: Exherbo Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: timo.g...@gmail.com The latest freetype release offers new subpixel hinting options: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/devel/ftoption.h?id=596157365aeff6bb842fe741f8cf322890a952fe When freetype 2.6.5 is compiled with "TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING 2" which according the the information in the freetype commit is the new default mode, then konsole is lagging and utilizing 100% CPU usage when switching tabs or redrawing the screen, e.g. when opening/closing a file in vi, showing a git diff --cached and so on. Why I'm reporting this here and not on the freetype bugtracker is because everything else seems to work fine, it's only konsole showing that extreme CPU usage and lag. Attaching a screenshot of ksysguard showing the intense CPU usage causing lags and delays when trying to work with konsole.
