gedit 2.22.3 can't open a big file (719.1 kB) correctly

[Jaakko Seppälä]

Binary package hint: gedit

I opened the file http://www.ohjelmointiputka.net/tiedostot/mpera.zip by File Roller 2.22.3. Then I opened the file 10.txt by doubleclicking the file. Now gedit 2.22.3 won't show the file correctly but for example OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 can open it.

thank you for your bug report, how not correctly? are you sure that's a text file? can you open it correctly using an another text editor?

[Jaakko Seppälä (jaakkoseppala)]

I'm pretty sure it's a text file, since it is a sample input of a certain programming exercise. When I open it, it looks like those letters f and g overlaps themselves. As I said, OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 can open it as well as vi.

In those zip-file mpera.zip there are another files. I guess those are of the same format because that programming exercise has been tested on several inputs. gedit 2.22.3 can open those other files well.

to send on bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue

I was able to reproduce the issue, that's a gtksourceview one, the "Long delays in loading long lines", re assigning, thanks.

and it's also a duplicate of bug 134352, thanks again.

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of bug 134352. Gedit is not slow. It shows the letters incorrectly. The same bug appears in Geany 0.14.

[Jaakko Seppälä (jaakkoseppala)]

2^19 plays some role in this bug.

file: http://www.ohjelmointiputka.net/tiedostot/mpera.zip 10.txt

split -b 524289 10.txt
gedit xaa
gives one overlapped letter

split -b 524288 10.txt
gedit xaa
outputs correctly.

Hope this helps to find out the bug.
