[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Buggy mode: cursor movement becomes slow (#1940)

[Olivier]

Hello,

When using Geany, after some time or some action that I could not identify, Geany goes into "buggy mode":
- moving the cursor in the text becomes significantly slower,
- the vertical scroll bar repaints about every second even when I do not move or do anything (I can see a slight blink of the scrollbar when it repaints) (this happens when Geany window has the focus).

Details below.

Debian: testing
Window manager: Xfce

$ geany -V
geany 1.33 (construit le Apr 16 2018 avec GTK 3.22.29, GLib 2.56.1)

Disable plugins? -> problem still occurs
Window full screen? -> problem still occurs
Output to consol? -> no text is displayed on the console when the problem occurs

CPU usage in buggy mode? When moving the cursor with the Up/Down keys inside the text of the Geany window, without causing lines to scroll...

|             |  No movement   |  Up/Down keys |
| --------- | :---------------------: | :--------------------: |
| geany  |         ∼ 0 %        |        ∼ 14 %      |
| Xorg    |         ∼ 1 %        |         ∼ 70 %     |

Hello Geany, do you really need all that CPU for moving a cursor in the text???
