[Bug 849806] Re: gvim runs away with CPU while terminal vim does not

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

I also see this problem. When running gvim from the command line, I get
the following warnings:

(gvim:4757): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap",

(gvim:4757): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap",

(gvim:4757): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap",

(gvim:4757): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: "pixmap",

(gvim:4757): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module
'libgail-gnome' which is needed to make this application accessible

(gvim:4757): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module
'libgail' which is needed to make this application accessible

** (gvim:4757): WARNING **: (../../atk-
adaptor/bridge.c:669):adaptor_init: runtime check failed: (root)

I do not see gvim spiking the CPU though. And I notice these problems
even if I move all my vim configs out of the way (e.g. .vimrc >
.vimrc.bak). Also note that I do have the "libgail-3-common" and
"libgail18" packages installed. I do not see a "libgail-gnome" package
to install.

Running "gvim -f" does nothing for the warnings, but does make it
responsive.

Title:
  gvim runs away with CPU while terminal vim does not

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to oneiric I find that gvim can go into a state where
  it is regularly unresponsive, and that it goes grey for several
  seconds at a time.  I do not have this problem running vim in a
  terminal.  I have a rather customized configuration, so I will try to
  attach my configs next.

  It seems to depend on what my first keystroke is.  If I gvim a file
  and hit 'j' first, it goes grey and does this for every keystroke I
  hit.  If I instead hit 't' and then a character on the line,
  everything appears fine and I can hjkl around without trouble.
