Public bug reported: When 'Highlight Misspelled Words' and syntax highlighting are switched on and I am working on a moderately sized LaTeX document, there is a delay of a second or so between typing text and the screen updating to show the typed characters.
However when 'Highlight Misspelled Words' is switched off, the program is fast and responsive. This is a problem on my older desktop (Intel Celeron 2.66GHz with gedit 3.2.1 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, running openbox (Lubuntu desktop)) and also my netbook (1.3GHz atom dual-core). I think it might not be noticeable on faster computers. Thank you. Apart from this little snag, gedit is a really great program!
