Interesting finding.

I can reproduce what you're describing, but for me, even when
launching the external editor on a regular page, the CPU usage won't
go down to normal until I close Zim. From your report I understand
that when you launch the editor from the "Insert plugin" dialog the
CPU usage hangs until you close Zim, but when launching it from a
regular page, the CPU gets back no normal once you close the editor,
right?

Well... in my case, the only way to go back to the normal CPU usage is
to close Zim, on both cases.

Tested on a Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits SP1, up to date, using the
regular, "Desktop" Zim 0.59 build from here:
http://www.glump.net/software/zim-windows

Svenn, are you using that Zim build also?

Jaap, maybe you're testing on development/source code build, and
that's why you can't reproduce the issue?

I use Windows 7 regularly at my job, so if anyone needs further
testing, just propose it, and I'll try to make the time. But without
further instructions I really don't know how to debug this in more
detail.
