Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  There is a problem with gedit (or maybe even the gtksourcebuffer
  widget) when editing long lines with syntax highlighting.

  Ive seen bug #134352, and it seems to be similar to what I am
  reporting here, but I am creating a new bug report since in the
  original report the problem seems to be minor since only long one-
  liner html files seem to be the issue.

  However, this bug appears even when doing a short document (for
  example your homework) on Latex, and writing a small paragraph (less
  than 10 lines) without using line breaks.

  To reproduce, create a new latex file and open it in gedit, make sure
  gedit correctly detects it as latex file and it is doing syntax
  highlighting on it. Now start typing gibberish (ie. asdf asdf asdf
  asdf asdfasdf asdf), as your paragraph continues and the buffer starts
  to break your line into several lines, you will notice how the
  processor consumption will start going up, by the time you reach 10
  break lines or so (at least on my machine) the processor will reach
  100% usage.

  I think this bug is pretty serious, since having a 10line paragraph
  seems a pretty common use case for a text editor.
