[Bug 1369693] Re: WebKit-based applications are unusably sluggish in Utopic

 

Do you mean since the update to 2.4.5? Before that we had 2.4.4 which is
also in trusty-proposed (if you want to try that to rule in/out this
version of webkit) and I didn't hear any reports of such behaviour.

I'm afraid I don't see the same here on either of my machines. Perhaps
#webkitgtk+ (freenode) could help more specifically.

** Package changed: webkit (Ubuntu) => webkitgtk (Ubuntu)

Title:
  WebKit-based applications are unusably sluggish in Utopic

Status in “webkitgtk” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Today I made a fresh install of the latest daily build of 14.10
  (Utopic).  Unfortunately applications that use WebKit, including Geary
  and Epiphany, are now strangely sluggish.  When I type characters
  (e.g. in a new message in Geary or in a form field in Epiphany) they
  don't echo for several seconds.  (During that time the system is
  apparently not consuming CPU.)  Scrolling through any page that
  contains a form field in Epiphany is similarly painfully sluggish.
