Public bug reported: Binary package hint: epiphany-browser
I'm using epi 2.21.92, Powered by gecko-1.9, in ubuntu 8.04... and the cpu usage is *insanely* high whenever I type something in the location/address bar! It lags to death 0 cpu will be used if you keep typing >1 caracters per second, but as soon as you pause, the "search" kicks in and it lags for one full second till the dropdown appears. If you happen to type slow, this is unbearable, as the "blocking UI" is disorienting and interrupts you again while you type. Then you end up thinking the whole computer is lagging, whereas it is "only" the epiphany address bar. This problem is so obvious on my machine that I actually noticed it. Epiphany 2.20.x never was that slow and did not hog the CPU when you were typing in the location bar. I reported this upstream (gnome bug 520215) but they did not react. I thought maybe it was an ubuntu issue. ** Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- location bar eats the cpu: performance regression in 2.21.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to epiphany-browser in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
