Slow scrolling? [Ubuntu]
Nosferax:
Hi everyone!
I am using code blocks and so far I have had a better experience than with Eclipse, which is really nice because I want to get rid of that app really bad (memory hog, laggy interface, whatever).
I am experiencing slow scrolling (for pretty much all scrollbars of code blocks, but it is different for the editor window).
In the editor window, if I scroll fast, every full scroll (i.e. as much as I can) just scrolls about 6 lines of code, which is pretty much useless. However if I scroll -slowly- waiting half a second before each increment of mouse wheel it will go down about 20ish lines of code for the same number of mouse wheel increments. I don't know if I am clear enough. Some mouse events seem to be forgotten/not catched.
For the rest, it is often a feeling of sluggishness.. if I compare to other applications, scrolling feels sharp and instantaneous, however in code blocks there seems to be a little lag between the scrolling and the actual update of the GUI. Exemple of places where I remarked this are the Project file browser and the 'Start here' pane. This one seems trickier even.. Anyone else experienced this?
I am using this under Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit and using an SVN build (revision 6181). Computer is not extremely powerful but decent enough to run other applications fine :P (Intel centrino 1.6Ghz and 1G ram).
[Btw sorry if this is in the wrong forum...]
Thanks!

Does scite (another editor, which uses the same editor component as c::b) scroll fast with the same file?
Nosferax:
I tested with scite and it doesn't scroll as slow. There are jumps in the document but it scrolls a lot more lines in one wheel roll.

I've noticed this too, and seems to be a lot worse in latest version. 8.02 does it but not that bad but my SVN 6187 version it's really bad.

Can you check your CPU usage during that "slow" scrolling?
In my case, it jumps higher than any other editors. And btw. in my case, scrolling using keyboard (holding down arrow) is also slow.
Im using Kubuntu 10.04 - self built svn trunk.
