Public bug reported:
>From any application where you have a "save as" or "open" option, the
dialog displays, but it takes forever. I have a i5 with 16GB RAM and 2
SSD's, so the machine is not slow. However, if I use gedit and click
open / Other documents it takes 6 to 7 seconds before the file dialog is
properly displayed. This does not even get better with reuse. I opened
gedit just now and the first time it took 7 seconds. Then I pressed
Cancel and repeated the process - it still took more than 6 seconds
before the dialog was properly displayed. Often I would only see "Other
locations" and then default places (Home, Documents etc) and bookmarks
(I have about 8 bookmarks of which 2 are network shares) are displayed.
These items are added one by one - maybe one every half second. Often it
takes a few seconds before the first location other than "Other
Locations" is displayed. Even the file panel is not immediate at first
and you can see how lines are added one by one. Take into account that
my home folder is on an SSD, so populating a file list should be
lightning fast. I have looked at the CPU activity, but it does not go
over about 10% during display of open and close dialogs.
Just be aware that this is not specific to gedit - all applications
using gnome file dialog has the same problem.
Please see the attached screen recording.
