gnome terminal GUI (when using ssh) is very slow

[Ittay Dror]

after upgrading to jaunty, gnome terminal started being very slow when scrolling contents of tabs. this seems to manifest itself in tabs where there's an ssh to another machine (though i can't figure why). scrolling takes 100% of a core (i have thinkpad t61 with dual core).

also, hitting on the scroll area, above or below the bar, should normall scroll a page. now it scrolls several (which means that if i want to scroll a page i need to click the small arrows at the end of the scroll area multiple times)

finally, in many cases, clicking on a tab (with the attempt to switch to that tab) detaches the tab into a standalone window. very annoying.

do you get the same using terminator? could be a vte issue.

same behavior with terminator

Let's reassign it to vte for now then, thanks Ittay.

Could you open a bug upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org since you're facing the issue? vte works fine here for me.

[Ittay Dror (ittay-dror)]

But I'm not sure this is a vte issue.

I'm seeing slowness in Emacs also.

Maybe something to do with font/text handling in Gnome?

May you please send this upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org for forwarding instructions please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME, so it can be read by the upstream developers, the behavior you're describing works fine here for me. thanks in advance.

Ittay, if you are using an ATI chip, this may be a dupe of bug 363238
