Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
There is a problem with gedit (or maybe even the gtksourcebuffer widget)
when editing long lines with syntax highlighting.
Ive seen bug #134352, and it seems to be similar to what I am reporting
here, but I am creating a new bug report since in the original report
the problem seems to be minor since only long one-liner html files seem
to be the issue.
However, this bug appears even when doing a short document (for example
your homework) on Latex, and writing a small paragraph (less than 10
lines) without using line breaks.
To reproduce, create a new latex file and open it in gedit, make sure
gedit correctly detects it as latex file and it is doing syntax
highlighting on it. Now start typing gibberish (ie. asdf asdf asdf asdf
asdfasdf asdf), as your paragraph continues and the buffer starts to
break your line into several lines, you will notice how the processor
consumption will start going up, by the time you reach 10 break lines or
so (at least on my machine) the processor will reach 100% usage.
I think this bug is pretty serious, since having a 10line paragraph
seems a pretty common use case for a text editor.
