Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the
developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at:

** Description changed:

- 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.
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Open Gnome Terminal
+ 2. Press F1 to open the Gnome Terminal Help
+ 3. Search for something using the search bar
+ 4. Click the link on the top to go back to GNOME Terminal Manual
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ Yelp goes back to the GNOME Terminal Manual main page
+ What happens:
+ Yelp goes back, but the CPU usage of the Yelp process increases to 100% and stays at 100% until it's closed or killed.
+ 
+ Reproduced with Yelp 3.0.0-0ubuntu2 and 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Natty
+ and Ubuntu Oneiric
  
  Ubuntu 11.04
