I have noticed this bug. I have a 5MB document with very long lines. Each line is approximately a million characters wide.
If you view it with word wrap OFF then the computer becomes very unresponsive. Scrolling the scrollbars particularly hangs the computer for a long time. I'm on gedit 2.30.4. I'm using a 15GB machine so manipulating a 5MB text file should not be causing it to sweat. I've attached an example file that causes the problem. Make sure you view it with text wrap off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156201 Title: gedit handles opening big files badly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/156201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
