[Bug 902778] [NEW] Slow to refresh screen while typing with 'Highlight Misspelled Words' switched on

 

Public bug reported:

When 'Highlight Misspelled Words' and syntax highlighting are switched
on and I am working on a moderately sized LaTeX document, there is a
delay of a second or so between typing text and the screen updating to
show the typed characters.

However when 'Highlight Misspelled Words' is switched off, the program
is fast and responsive.

This is a problem on my older desktop (Intel Celeron 2.66GHz with gedit
3.2.1 on a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, running openbox (Lubuntu
desktop)) and also my netbook (1.3GHz atom dual-core). I think it might
not be noticeable on faster computers.

Thank you. Apart from this little snag, gedit is a really great program!
