I've tested this a little more, and it seems it's not slow opening a blanc document, like just running gedit command, eighter as root or regular user. Also opening a file from terminal, like sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf goes quick. BUT double clicking a file in home folder, like just containing some simple text file, is slow.
I don't have any special plugins or anything, just as it is from fresh install -- Gedit is very slow when starting in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
