** Description changed: - Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I - heard the fan kick into action. top showed me that unity-panel-service - was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs. I killed it before - my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see why it was - totally pegging out a CPU. + Impact: high CPU/memory usage from unity-panel-service - I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice - spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost - it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short while - after that. - - TEST CASE: + Test case: Open a large image in the GIMP and activate a lot of items from the global menu. Using shortcuts is enough and faster to reproduce this bug (I've always used Ctrl+A and Ctrl+Shift+A). Memory usage of unity-panel- service increases steadily and it uses a lot of CPU shortly after activating the menu items in a short time. + + Regression potential: check that the menus are stable/working as they + should + + --------- + Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I heard the fan kick into action. top showed me that unity-panel-service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs.
