Description of problem: When using terminal - and having multiple tabs - where one of tabs is having a lot of input - then even when such tabs is not visible and other tabs is used - the massive amount of CPU is still consumed by terminal AND Xorg server. I'd expect when tab is 'not visible' it's not consuming resources. And as one can easily check it's even more ridiculous when compared with plain good old 'xterm' - when scrolled term is fully hidden by some other window. For compare: xfte4-terminal (or gnome-terminal - both work the same bad way) take around 50% of single core of my C2D. While with hidden xterm - Xorg consumes ONLY 16%. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-terminal-0.8.6-3.fc27.x86_64 xterm-330-3.fc27.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5-1.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. run printing loop in 1 tab 2. switch to 2nd. tab 3. observe resource consumed by Xorg Actual results: Expected results: CPU power is consumed by looping process - not by processes showing nothing. Additional info:
Can you duplicate this with any of the other of the vte291 using terminals? ie, gnome-terminal, nemo-terminal, roxterm, terminator, etc?
