I don't normally use gedit, but I fired it up on a text file that is about 118 MB. It quickly shows the initial screen, but then seems to lock up the screen. When I look in top, it's using 100% of one CPU. But it isn't really using a lot of memory. The text shows as white on a black background. When I switch to a different workspace and back, the screen is completely black until I move the mouse, then it shows up as white on black. I see that there is a progress bar at the top of the screen, and it is moving very slowly, about the rate you reported. So, yes, it appears that if I was using gedit I would have the problem also. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
