This bug is still present in 8.10. As discussed in the upstream bug report (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/unix- connreset-spin.html), this bug is due to the fact that PuTTY 0.60 still uses GTK 1.2, which has a bug that is causing this problem. I am reopening the bug in gtk+-1.2 for this reason. The next version of PuTTY (which has not yet been released) will use GTK2, and it does not have this issue.
Unfortunately, it is unlikely the bug in GTK1.2 will be fixed, since it is so old. Furthermore, since packaging a development snapshot of PuTTY is presumably out of the question, this bug will probably have to remain until the next version of PuTTY comes out. ** Changed in: gtk+1.2 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Putty process causes high CPU load when connection times out. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157182 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+1.2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
