Comment 3 for bug 713770

Same issue in:
$ apt-cache policy pdfedit
pdfedit:
  Installed: 0.4.5-1
  Candidate: 0.4.5-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.5-1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Simply selecting text and moving the text results in 92% cpu until that operation is complete. Close pdfedit & the process is still running and consuming the cpu:
$ ps -e | grep pdfedit
 4962 ? 00:04:42 pdfedit

Top is showing 90.5 CPU
4962 gg 20 0 63360 50m 13m R 90.5 1.7 5:03.44 pdfedit

However, pdfedit finally manages to close itself after several minutes:
$ ps -e | grep pdfedit

Either way, pdfedit is unusable.
