Description of problem: I left audacity running but idle with an audio file (wav) loaded, and noticed several hours later that my laptop's fan was running constantly and heat was pouring out of the heatsink, which turned out to be because the processors had gotten up to 85C. I'm afraid I didn't do much but check to see what process was working the processors, which turned out to be audacity, and quit it, after which the laptop returned to normal, so I have no further information to report, but I think it's worth seeing if this behavior reproduces on rawhide since it's kind of nasty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. load up a wav in audacity (mine is a fairly large one, 53MB) 2. go away for a few hours
Doesn't need to be Rawhide. For Fedora 11 there is a test-update for Audacity 1.3.9-beta. Are you limited to Fedora 10?
Very likely the same than bug 494425, albeit with older Audacity but also wxGTK 2.8.10.

Upgrading to wxGTK-2.8.10-3.fc10.i386 fixed it.
