Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xfce
Making several fast strokes in GIMP makes the cpu load jump to 100% for several seconds and all the elements on the screen stop responding. Everything goes back to normal after some delay. This does not happen in KDE. The problem can be probably connected with the incremental updates of the image window icon that GIMP does when user draws something -- somehow this is very costly in cpu on xfce. ** Affects: xfce (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- After painting several fast strokes in gimp, whole desktop freezes, not reacting to any clicks for several seconds. https://launchpad.net/bugs/61424 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
