[Bug 872114] [NEW] Yelp causes 100% CPU usage in Natty 32-Bit

 

Public bug reported:

I noticed tonight that my system was at 100% CPU load, even though not
much was running beyond the OS.  "top" shows the culprit to be "Yelp"
which I opened earlier today.  As I found documented elsewhere, to
reproduce the problem all you have to do is open a terminal window,
press F1, then type anything you want in the search window and hit
enter.  Then click on the "Gnome Terminal Manual" link and watch the CPU
usage climb to 100%.  I'm not sure how I got the problem to happen
initially, but that certainly brings it back.  Killing "yelp" takes CPU
usage back to sane levels.
