I just started experiencing this issue today, for whatever reason. Updates a couple of days ago, but I use Gedit many times during the course of a day for html and writing papers/journal and so everything was working fine after last update.
I have opened and edited files I am experiencing trouble with using both mousepad and kate and no problem at all. I also tried the gksu suggestion and gedit works tickity boo that way. So is there a solution for this problem? Like I said I use Gedit daily, and some days non-stop, so this bugs is a major PITA and near impossible to work with. Any suggestions will be appreciated tried ASAP BTW... if it matters I am running xubu 10.04 cheers -- 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
