I've a similar problem with exactly the same symptoms. In my case it was a 26mb MySQL dump with some extremely long lines that appeared to be typed over each other. On top of that, gedit is painfully slow in dealing with large text files. Sometimes taking minutes to respond to input.
I believe that this is a regression as similar behaviour was either fixed in Feisty or fixed from Dapper to Feisty. -- gedit has trouble displaying very large unbroken text strings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gedit in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
