He pasted the backtrace, you don't seem to read carefully these days :) Anyway, it sat in poll() so I assume another thread causes the problems. To the OP: Can you provide a backtrace for each thread when the freeze problem occurs? To do this repeat the GDB procedure up to the point where you enter bt. But instead of bt do this: 1) print the threads and their IDs: 'info threads' for each thread: a) switch to thread with 'thread ID' b) print backtrace with bt Best regards. ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi, Thanks for the update, please try the list of things suggested and report the results. Regards Lex On 24 July 2013 06:08, Victoria S. 1...@victoriasjourney.com wrote: Thank you for your comments / suggestions - appreciated. I tried your suggestions: none had any effect. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz × 4 Geany 1.23 UPDATE 1 (July 23): I am (currently) working with plain-text (.txt) files. I am teaching myself RDBMS/SQL; the file I am working on (my saved text) is /home/victoria/Programming/RDB, SQL/Examples/Tutorial 3 - More Advanced SQL Instruction/Tutorial 3 - More Advanced SQL Instruction.txt ... i.e. a path to a nested folder, with spaces, etc. in the path. That file is ~1100 lines in length, although many of those are long, unwrapped single lines as I typically don't employ line wrapping / right margins unless I have a specific need to do so. In teh Documents menu, I do have 'Line Wrapping' and 'Auto-Indentation' checked/selected. The file is currently 65.4 kB (65,439 bytes; ~8900 words; ~65750 characters; UTF-8; no execute permissions (just the standard Owner/Group read/write). This morning the pauses were averaging ~9 seconds or so, at every paste (gnome-terminal Geany .txt file). I quit Geany (one current/working tab), then reopened the file, and immediately did some copy/pastes from my (gnome-)terminal to this txt file: all instantly pasted, with Geany fully 'responsive.' Here's a key observation: I then saved the file (the first save operation after opening it), and ** immediately thereafter** the aforementioned behavior began: Geany began pausing/'freezing' (up to ~2 min 35 sec i.e. 155 sec), but more typically , ~15-60+ seconds, intermittently (many but not all paste operations). Manual save operations (Ctrl-S) are instant. While this was occurring I had one eye on my System Monitor: Geany would shoot to 100% CPU use (typically 0%, otherwise). As mentioned, I have a quad-core system: among those CPU, Geany would max out (100% useage) one of those four CPU for a bit (say 10-15 sec.?), then swap to another CPU, that would then be at 100% use (with the previous CPU freed for other system use). I quit Geany, and launched it from the (terminal) command line (not the Ubuntu Unity Panel, as I have been doing). Here is the terminal poutput; I was hoping to see something during the freezes, but saw no system/terminal messages: victoria@victoria:~$ geany (geany:19046): LIBDBUSMENU-GTK-CRITICAL **: watch_submenu: assertion `GTK_IS_MENU_SHELL(menu)' failed (geany:19046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_list_store_clear: assertion `GTK_IS_LIST_STORE (list_store)' failed (geany:19046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed (geany:19046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed (geany:19046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed (geany:19046): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed I have no idea what any of that means, however. :-/ Watching the terminal window, when I made an edit to the .txt file and saved it, this line was appended to the terminal output (but nothing, if Ctrl-S on an unedited, i.e. unchanged) file): (geany:19185): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

I tried your [the users' list] suggestions: none had any effect. ..., I already tried the other suggestions. ;-) Ok, so we move on to more detailed things :) As you would have probably guessed, it isn't happening for anyone here, so we need you to help track it down. Can you run geany with gdb and when it is consuming 100% cpu interrupt it (ctrl-c in the terminal) and see if you can get a backtrace to find where it is spending its time. Also when you run from terminal you can use -v to see more information, and possibly see more warnings. Of the warnings you listed, the menushell one is caused by Ubuntu rudely stealing the menu from an application that isn't designed for that, complaints to them, we can't fix it. Not sure what the others are, when running in gdb you could try using the --g-fatal-warnings option, though that will stop at the first one, but you might be able to continue from there to get it to stop on the second. If you can please send the backtrace so we can see where it is happening.

[...] = THIRD: Geany (regular launch; 'Spell Check' plugin disabled (deselected)): Working normally; no 'freezes'! :-) Very fast, responsive (immediate) - heavy (intensive) pastes/saves/deletes ... Ok, well, now the culprit is identified :) But it is still worthwhile getting the backtrace from GDB as I asked. Since it doesn't happen here, that will provide some guidance for the plugin maintainer where to look. Without that info he may not be able to recreate the fault to fix it. Geany-plugins is separate from Geany, the plugins are not necessarily created or maintained by Geany devs. So please make a bug report on the geany-plugins bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/p/geany-plugins/bugs/) including the backtrace from above, so the maintainer will be informed. That way he can fix it and you won't need to go without. That's good: I like the Tree Browser plugin. The treebrowser plugin has been orphaned for a while, but has just got a new maintainer (IIRC) so again please make a bug report so he will know about the problem. Cheers Lex = I can live without the 'Spell Check' plugin, but very grudgingly so: I use it extensively for personal/professional use. Is there a work-around/other options? I use enchant e.g. with gedit, Claws mail - seemingly without issue ... Thanks again for your excellent help much appreciated!

Re: [Geany-Users] Sluggish (slow; transiently non-responsive) Geany?
HI, Nothing below looks unusual. So a few questions/suggestions to help track it down. What filetype does it happen on? Does the slowdown happen on all filetypes? If you set menu-edit-preferences-editor-completions Symbol list update frequency to 0 does that fix it? What period do you have save actions plugin autosave period set to? Try turning plugins off one at a time to see if one can be identified as the culprit. Cheers Lex On 23 July 2013 10:10, Victoria S. 1...@victoriasjourney.com wrote: Hello: Can anyone comment on this?
