Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04

$ apt-cache policy seahorse
seahorse:
  Installiert: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  Kandidat: 2.30.0-0ubuntu1
  Versions-Tabelle:
 *** 2.30.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I have various login credentials (web bases logins) stored for seahorse. Those logins are displayes using a tabbed list view in seahorse. When double-clicking an entry, to view details (including masked / unmasked) password, the CPU Load goes to 100% upon the dialog being opened. It falls down to expected level upon closing the dialog again.

I'll note that this is still present in Lucid as of 4 February 2011 for me, although I didn't have the Xorg usage Phillip reported; just one core by Seahorse.

I have a similar bug. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and seahorse 2.32.0. from the repositories.

In fact my CPU goes to 100% only when I open the properties windows in the "Password" tab, not in the two other tabs.
