Not sure. Maybe. But if so, it would be probably more a problem in Scintilla. Can you reproduce the issue with Scite?
Nope, and I guess it's more on my laptop (intel graphics), than on my desktop (nvidia).
In fact ... at the moment I can't replicate the problem any longer ...
Anyway, even if it would be the Scintilla widget, in one of your first mails you said it's the whole Geany UI which freezes, so it's rather unlikely Scintilla is at fault.
Yeps, it's seem quite fast to me, too.
Frank mentioned composite settings (btw, please don't compare Geany with Firefox or Thunderbird, these are not really GTK apps :D), maybe it's related to this or to the used video driver or some weird combination of those.
I know that mozilla products don't use GTK+, but I thought that they where a bit more heavy than GTK+, but why both used the same Xorg :-) Yes, I will try to see if I can find a more stable pattern for this behavior, and maybe its only my laptop that really have this effect.
But this should be easy to test with some other "real" GTK app which has a somewhat big UI (which pidgin not has compared to Geany's one).
I use pidgin all the time, but no "slow" GUI update here !
I will see if I can recreate the situation again, but it have gone as I wrote before ...
