I also confirm I have this bug since I installed Ubuntu 13.10, did not
see it on 13.04 (or it wasn't so bad). I used GIMP these days and the
laptop becomes unresponsive from time to time, the menus do not open or
they open after lots of time, etc. This is no way of using the
computer..


Just found this topic, I was hoping we are lots so it can be more easily tracked.


Any solution yet?

Bug description:
  Just going about my business on Ubuntu Raring amd64 on an x230 and I
  heard the fan kick into action.  top showed me that unity-panel-
  service was consuming all the free cycles on one of my CPUs.  I killed
  it before my machine overheated, so I didn't attach a debugger to see
  why it was totally pegging out a  CPU.

  I'm not sure if this adds any context, but I was using a LibreOffice
  spreadsheet and I could not insert a table because the menu had lost
  it's mind, and then I observed the overly loaded CPU a very short
  while after that.
