I am seeing this issue on a new install of Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit with NVIDIA driver 331.89.
I get about 50% CPU on 8 cores just just editing a new (unsaved) text document. If I give focus to another window the CPU drops and the mouse correctly shows, and I can then go back to gedit and things are fine for a minute or so then CPU spikes again. I do not see this issue with any other application. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367372 Title: Gedit uses 100% of the CPU while editing files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/367372/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
