From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030206 Description of problem: When running gnome-terminal with Phoebe, scrolling is much slower than when using gnome-terminal under 8.0. When I run: ls /* the output appears scrolls extremely slowly down the screen, takes a long time to finish completely. When I run this on a RH8 system, it is much faster. Also, if I run xterm with the same command, the ls command finishes in a second or two, much faster than gnome-terminal. The same bug appears when running anything that causes text to scroll down the terminal, such as a cat command, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gnome-terminal (I've used command line as well as "New Terminal..." 2. Execute the command: ls /* 3. Watch the information slowly scroll down the terminal. Actual Results: Everything was listed correctly, just very slowly. Expected Results: Everything should have been listed in a couple seconds. Additional info: No error message. System is a RH8 laptop upgraded to Phoebe
CPU usage seems to be VERY high for the X process while gnome-terminal is scrolling. Xft?
This was fixed, g-t can now do the ls faster than xterm. Not sure if it's in rawhide. The package to upgrade would be vte not g-t. (And the package to assign this bug to if you ever reopened it would also be vte.)
