>Description:
gnome-terminal 2.2.2 exhibits a problem where it does not immediately
respond to a text selection action. That is, the visual feedback of
reverse-highlighting the text is noticeably delayed (sometimes by 10
seconds or more). While gnome-terminal is in this state, no other
screen updates are performed (typing echo, terminal updates, refresh
due to window resize or move, etc.) and CPU usage runs abnormally high
(over 50% on this 800-MHz P3 laptop). Normal usage is under 1%.
After this period of lethargy, gnome-terminal will "wake up" and
resume normal behaviour.
I am running the gnome2 port (2.2.2_2), cvsupped from ports-stable on
or around August 18. Sub-pixel AA has been enabled for font display,
but changing that setting does not eliminate the sluggish behaviour.
Font used is 7.5-point Lucida Console. No background pixmap or
transparency is being used.
This text selection problem does not appear to exist in any other
gnome2 application (logjam2, gnumeric2, galeon2, etc.).
>How-To-Repeat:
Run gnome-terminal, then run a command that produces a screenful of
text ("ls -lR /" or "top" or whatever). Attempt to select some text
using left-button and drag. Curse gnome-terminal for freezing up. ;-)
>Fix:
No known fix.
