| Summary | 0004513: 100% cpu usage while aligning the text | ||||
| Description | When I open Story Editor and try to align the text, Scribus takes up 100% cpu and freezes my PC for nice amount of time. Opening Story Editor seems to be more slow that it should. | ||||

cannot replicate on Kubuntu Dapper Drake (system up to date) with scribus 1.3.3.5. Could you please upload a sample document which causes this behaviour? |

I cannot even open the attached file in Scribus 1.3.3.5 on Kubuntu, keep getting the fatal error: "File blabla is not in an acceptable format". Switching to WinXP to check it there. Rvx, the file seems to be damaged somehow, what steps exactly have you performed on this file? |
|
|
The same fatal error while opening your attachment on WinXP with 1.3.3.5. Are you sure you uploaded the right file? Are you able to open it yourself with 1.3.3.5? btw, neither does text aligning in Story Editor cause high cpu load with scribus 1.3.3.5 on WinXP. |

I have added 4 thin text frames, splat them and inserted 20 paragraphs of Lorem ipsum. Then I have switched to the Story Editor and selected all and applied justified alignment. And then I got 100% cpu for several minutes (about 10). EDIT: This file, I uploaded, is able to be opened on my Scribus. |

Reminder sent to: cbradney cbradney, could you check on your Gentoo, if you get the same behaviour as me on Kubuntu: -- create 4 text frames and chain them -- fill them with 20 pars of Lorem ipsum -- open the Story editor -- select all and justify the text. The CPU load goes immediately to 100%, in my case it lasts 13 secs until Scribus responses again (Pentium M 1.5 Ghz and 768 MB RAM here) |

Yes, but a lot longer than 13s (Core Duo 2ghz) |
|
|
thx craig, I'm confirming it now |
|
|
I doubt there is anything we can do until 1.3.4 or later though, unfortunately. |

It seems that changing pretty much anything for blocks of text in the SE takes longer than on the canvas--setting parastyle for existing paragraphs is slow too, especially with hyphenated text. On a similar note, I recently waited half an hour for the SE to refresh after going to the edit styles manager from there while editing 7 pages of justified hyphenated text, and it still wasn't done until after I left and came back later. The best part was, the styles I had edited weren't even in use yet in the text! Doing the same kind of style edit operation initiated from the canvas worked fine. I think even telling the code to internally close and reopen the story text and applying large changes in "canvas mode"/non-SE-mode would be a lot faster here. Any optimizations in the short term would be appreciated. :) |

Found it! Its the story/paragraph counter in SE. Slow regular expressions. |

Great news! Do you have a quick&dirty workaround in mind to ease the pain? I've just tested the issue with 1.3.4cvs from yesterday (the same steps as for 1.3.3.5) -- 1.3.4cvs suffers from it too, although the 100% load lasts a little shorter here (about 10s in my case) |

in 1.4 justifying 20 paragraphs of lorem ipsum takes 0s |
