It's a gtkhtml bug, or possibly a libgtk+ bug. A workaround is to patch libgtkhtml and rebuild it. Instructions:
$ sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential wget $ sudo apt-get build-dep gtkhtml3.14 $ mkdir $HOME/gtkhtml $ cd $HOME/gtkhtml $ apt-get source gtkhtml3.14 $ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27859768/bug585626.diff $ patch -p0 < bug585626.diff $ ( cd gtkhtml3.14-* && fakeroot debian/rules binary ) $ sudo dpkg -i *.deb Your changes WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REPLACED next time gtkhtml is updated, so this is only a quick-and-dirty fix. (Yes, you can use pinning or the like to retain them, but if you need to know how to unpin later, remember to , etc, or things may go pear-shaped, so I won't explain that here). -- Long delay before new/compose window appears https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/386199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
