xchat preferences load CPU 100%

[Ansus]

Xchat loads CPU 100% when preferences dialog opened. On the background image setup tab, the field "image file" twinkles all the time. When exittong the preferences the CPU load remains. When closing the application, CPU load stops.

[Ansus (neptunia)]

When manually setting the background image to "none", the CPU load also stops.

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This
is not an issue for me anymore with Xchat 2.8.6 in Intrepid. Can you
confirm that this is fixed for you, too?

Is the reporter actually referring to to the issue under xchat-gnome and not xchat?

[Ansus (neptunia)]

Yes, xchat-gnome.

[Philip Wyett (philwyett)]

I am going to mark this bug as fix released. The issue under the upcoming intrepid is fixed and a debdiff for hardy is waiting at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-gnome/+bug/153526 to be pulled and made into an update under SRU along with another bug.
