THE PROBLEM: I'm finding that gedit is working incredibly slow when there are unsaved changes. The mouse-pointer flickers and typing is painfully slow.
PARTIAL FIXES: As soon as I save the changes I've made to the file, it immediately speeds up again until I make some more changes. Also, I discovered that running gedit as root completely fixes the problem -- it never slows down, whether there are unsaved changes or not.
ALREADY TRIED: I've disabled all gedit plugins, and the problem persists.
I am extremely reluctant to work with gedit
in sudo
. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I've searched around for a while, but haven't found anyone with the same issue...
