Bug Description

Binary package hint: vim-gui-common

Scrolling in gvim is very sluggish and takes 99% CPU both with mouse and arrow keys.

To reproduce:
1. open file X in gvim
2. then use File->Open to open file Y in the same instance of gvim
3. try to scroll file Y.

I have Gutsy Gibbon with following packages installed (among others):
vim, vim-common, vim-gnome, vim-runtime, vim-tiny, vim-gui-common
they are all supported. I don't have any unsupported vim packages installed.

I have not been able to reproduce the problem

what is the version of vim, what architecture has your computer (cpu, ubuntu, gnome, ...) ?

does this problem occur with any 2 files X and Y ?

does it happen with the human theme and visual effects off ?

I have clean installation of gutsy gibbon.
version of vim package: 7.1-056+2ubuntu2 (gutsy)

Laptop: IBM Thinkpad Z60m, 2529-FKG model.
Theme: I usually use silicon, but I checked it under human theme to the same result.
Effects: effects are off.
Video Card: ATI. It happens on both fglrx and ati drivers.

As far as I can see this happens with any X and Y.

I'll try to check this on my home desktop computer using gutsy livecd.
And maybe on some other laptop also.

Also I have 'cream' package installed. Can this be the reason? However, I checked this with cream uninstalled - to the same result.

Best regards, Alexey

I just reinstalled the system and this bug vanished.
Also I notice a considerable speedup in displaying graphics.
So this bug is probably wasn't related to gvim.

Sorry for inconvenience, please close this bug.
